PAST PERFECTED

THE KitCHEN Suite [Hat Brincs New LIFE
‘To AN OLD CounrTRY BARN.

THINK OF IT AS THREE NEW-FASHIONED LIVING SPACES
UNITED BY AN ARMSTRONG FLOOR.

If you're going for a genuine country look,
what better way to start than with a genuine
country barn. The rough-hewn beams and
spacious feeling remind you of its past,

but everything else has changed.

The old hayloft is now an overlook that

opens into the impressive two-story dining
area. A newly built hearth is the center of
conversation in the family area. And modern
kitchen appliances are cleverly hidden,

yet easily accessible. With all these changes,
this kitchen suite has given an old barn a new
lease on a new life.

"THE DESIGNER SOLARIAN® FLOOR.

The Armstrong floor that brings so much warmth
to this suite has always been a favorite.

Its striking brick pattern adds rustic beauty,
while its natural colors and textures create
richness and depth. The floor flows easily

from one part of the suite to another, uniting
these newly created and very livable areas.

his is the time of year, of course, to make
New Year’s resolutions. | bet you—like
me—have already resolved to lose a few
pounds and exercise more. (In fact, I’m
going to start as soon as | finish off the
Christmas cookies.) Yet at the same time, aren‘t
there some little things about yourself you
wouldn’t change at all? Just as important as
thinking about how you want to improve yourself
as the year starts, it’s a good idea to spend some
time thinking about those silly things that make
you you!

For example, Books and Fiction Editor Mary
Lou Mullen told me she’s resolved to swim three
times a week and entertain more this year. Good
ideas, but what she’s not going to change is her
habit of shopping for things she can’t afford. So
there! And Editorial Assistant Shana Aborn has
resolved to get more organized. But she’s not
going to change her talent for coming up with a
bad pun at a moment's notice (even though some
people wish she would). Beauty and Fashion As-
sistant Susan Parkes has virtuously resolved to
have her hair highlighted every four months, no
matter what. But she’s not going to change her
story that it’s the color she was born with. And
Assistant Managing Editor Nina Keilin is not going
to let her auburn hair go back to its natural color
even though her husband and her mother wish
she would. What she is going to change is her
habit of procrastination. (She did give me her

“OKAY, SO THERE WERE DOG HAIRS
all over the seat of the car,” said Han-
nah, thirty-five, sinking her lean,
nearly six-foot frame into a chair. “Is
that enough to trigger a rampage?
“Tam not kidding. When Rob pulled
into the garage the night before last,
he purposely looked inside my car and
then stormed into the house, raving
like a madman

Rob said he supported
Hannah's career,

but he still wanted her
to be a model corporate

the vet for booster shots. And, as usu-
al, I dashed home so Sharon, who’s
ten, wouldn’t be alone after school. I
picked up around the house a little,
found time to do some work on a book
I’m writing about music appreciation
for kids, and
started making
dinner. Frankly,
the idea of vac-
uuming the car
never entered
my mind.

“So in comes Rob, carrying on about
how he knew Id leave the car a mess
after the vet appointment. I have nev-
er been one to engage in shouting
matches, so I just stood there, basical-
ly. Before long, he was really on a roll,
bringing up everything in our rela-
tionship that bothered him... like,
I’m not tough enough on Sharon, who
is going to turn out to be a slob like
me...I don’t go to all the functions
wives of his colleagues go to...I
waste time and money on yoga classes
and writing my book.

“I mean, he hit me with a whole
litany of offenses, then marched off to
bed. I stood there crying, unable to
think of a single word to say back.

“Now, this isn’t the first time Rob
has criticized me so vehemently. He’s
been treating me
like this for years,

(continued) opposite. Both my par-

mW
!

ents are artists, and I’m their only
child. They were very young when I
was born and we never had a lot of
money, but I had a wonderful child-
hood filled with trips to museums
and the ballet. We lived in a loft in
Greenwich Village, and you could
never tell where the studio ended
and the living quarters began.

“JT never had much of a social life,
though. I was always so tall, and
the kids at the public school where I
went weren’t into the arts, so I was
a loner. Even when I was a scholar-
ship student at Juilliard, I never
really found my niche
socially. Rob was the
first person besides my es
parents who ever made Wy
me feel loved. And I do
still love him—that’s ,
what's so terrible
about this mess.

“Our first meeting
was really romantic. I
was a member of a
string quartet, and
when we played in
Chicago one Decem-
ber, Rob came to the
stage door with a doz-
en roses for me. He
said he had been in the
audience the night be-
fore and that I was the
most beautiful woman
he had ever seen. Do °
you believe that? I pizza
could tell he meant it,
and the fact that I was a good three
inches taller than he was didn’t
seem to matter.

“He returned the next night and
asked me to have a drink. We
talked for hours, and when he
reached out for my hand, I was
goose bumps from head to toe.

“We had a whirlwind courtship
because I went back to New York,
and he went back to Philadelphia,
where he was finishing his M.B.A.
at Wharton. Still, he did the most
romantic things, like surprise me
with visits on Valentine’s Day. Rob
still does crazy romantic things ev-
ery now and then, though I know
it’s just because he feels guilty for
being so hard on me.

“Anyway, we were married in his

yarents’ garden in May of that year,
leven years ago, and we moved to
‘irginia. Rob had landed a good job
with a manufacturing firm, and he
had to begin right away. It seems

ir trouble started the minute he

“The house is
really filthy,”
said Rob,
“and she’s
ordering in

carried me over the threshold. All of

a sudden, my romantic suitor
turned into a neatness fanatic.

“Though I was very busy working
full-time at the magazine plus play-
ing with the local orchestra during
their seasons, I was expected to do
all the housework, too. Rob helped,
but he always implied that he was
doing it because I hadn’t done a
good enough job. Before his parents’
first visit, he cleaned every nook
and cranny. He said his mother
judged people’s happiness by how
clean their homes were.

“When I got pregnant, Bob felt it
was important for me
to cut back on my ac-
tivities and be home
more. I knew I would
have to drop out of the
orchestra, but fortu-
nately I was able to ar-
range a part-time job
at the magazine. I
didn’t want to give up
everything.

“[ve tried hard to
keep up all my inter-
ests, but Rob has never
supported me. Would
it have killed him to
baby-sit some nights
so I could continue
to play my cello?

“No, I never said
anything to him. It
was clear Rob just
didn’t care. So I tried
to work on myself a
bit. Last spring, I signed up for a
yoga class at night with some
friends. Bob agreed grudgingly to
stay home with Sharon, but I could
tell he didn’t approve.

“Then something happened that
really made me wonder about this
marriage. I called after yoga class
to say that a few of us and the in-
structor were going out for coffee so
I'd be a little late. Rob blew up. He
actually accused me of having a
crush on the instructor!

“On the one hand, I should have
just laughed it off. But on the other,
it proved that our relationship has
dissolved into a lack of trust.”

Rob’s tum

“I do love Hannah,” said Rob, thir-
ty-seven, a sandy-haired man with
a vibrant manner and firm hand-
shake. “The trouble is, the things
that drew me to her are the things
that cause problems.

“Hannah is a dreamer. That’s
great, but there are times you have
to discipline yourself to get on with
the business at hand, especially
when you have a family.

“Take this new book she’s writ-
ing. She could have had it finished
months ago if she hadonly sat down
and worked at it systematically.
But no, she dawdles, she leaves
manuscript pages all over the
house, she wastes time sitting with
her legs tied in a knot, staring out
the window. Meanwhile, the house
is filthy and she’s ordering in pizza.

“I am not exaggerating. I will
concede that my standards for
housekeeping are pretty high, but
Hannah is truly impossible. When
she goes into her creative mood,
she’s in another world. She doesn’t
see dirt. She leaves dishes in the
sink and uses paper plates.

“Okay, I probably got a little too
carried away the other night, but
that business with the dog was the
straw that broke the camel’s back.

“Still, it’s not just the housework.
Hannah is simply not, well, not
there for me. Oh, I don’t expect her
to attend every company dinner.
But I would like her to participate
at least a little bit in my company’s
social plans. All the wives do. What
gets me is that she not only won’t
join me, she’s smug about it. She
says she’s not that kind of wife.

“So what kind is she, then? Cer-
tainly not a very demonstrative
one. I’m not referring to our sex life,
which has always been fine. She
doesn’t make me feel like she loves
me, I guess.

“Listen, I like to think of myself as
a bit of a romantic. And when I do
something romantic, I'd like her to
reciprocate once in a while or be ap-
preciative. I’ve slacked off with the
corny gestures since they’re not get-
ting me anywhere, but every now
and then, I look at her and I have to
go splurge on flowers. Since I first
laid eyes on her, I thought of her as a
Modigliani painting, with that mes-
merizing beauty,so pensive and
ethereal. She still affects me that
way. But then I give her the flowers
and—nothing. Just a cold thank-you.

“I wish I knew when and where
things went wrong. We didn’t spend

“We're looking for people

to write children’s books”

“Writing for children is
the perfect way to begin,”
says the author of 53 chil-
dren’s books. “Your ideas
come right out of your
own experience. And
while it’s still a challenge,
's the straightest possible line between
‘ou and publication—if you're qualified to
eek the success this rewarding field offers.”
By Alvin Tresselt, Dean of Faculty

published, I can’t think ofa better way to

do it than writing books and stories for
hildren and teenagers. Ideas flow naturally
ight out of your own life experience. While
's still a challenge, the odds of getting
hat first unforgettable check from a
uvenile publisher are better than they are
rom any other kind of publisher I know.

Later on, you may get other checks from
ther publishers. But right now, the object
sto begin—to break into print—to learn the
eeling of writing and selling your work
nd seeing your name in type. After that,
ou can decide if you want your writing to
ake another direction.

But after 30 years of editing, publishing,
nd teaching—and 53 books of my own—I
an tell you this: You'll go a long way before
ou discover anything as rewarding as
yriting for young readers.

Your words will never sound as sweet as
hey do from the lips ofa child reading your
ooks and stories. And the joy of creating
ooks and stories that truly reach young
eople is an experience you'll never have
nywhere else.

from it, and turn it into a professional per-
formance. That's the only kind of person
we're looking for. The reasons are simple:
Our reputation is built on success, and, if
prospective students don’t have the ear-
marks of success, we probably can’t help
them. And we tell them so. It’s only fair to
both of us.

To help us spot potential authors, we've
developed a revealing test for writing apti-
tude. It’s free, and we don’t charge for our
evaluation. But no one gets into The Institute
without passing it. Those who pass and en-
roll receive our promise: You will complete
at least one manuscript ready to submit toa
publisher by the time you finish the Course.

One-on-one training with
your own instructor

I’ve learned a lot about writing for children
and I love it. Now I’m passing my know!-
edge on to my students so they can profit
from it. When I’m not writing my own
books I spend my time at The Institute of
Children’s Literature, a workshop for new
writers that does one thing and does it
better than any other educational insti-
tution I know of: It trains qualified people
to write for young readers.

This is the way I work with my students,
and my fellow instructors—all of whom
are experienced writers or editors—work
more or less the same way.

Learn at your own pace
When you're ready—at your own time and
your own pace— you send your assignment
to meandIread itand I reread it to get every-
thing out of it you’ve put into it.

Then I edit your assignment just the
way a publishing house editor would—if
he had the time. I return it along witha
detailed letter explaining my comments. I
tell you what your strong points are, what
your weaknesses are, and just what you
can do to improve. It’s a matter of push
and pull with each assignment. You push
and I pull and between us both, you learn
to write.

‘*__my dream come true!”’
This method really works. I wouldn't spend
five minutes at it ifit didn’t. The proof of the
pudding is that many students break into
print even before they finish the course.

“The thing that gives me the most satis-
faction” writes Brandy S. Wells, Greensboro,

dream come true.

“Seeing my story in print, and knowing
that some child out there is reading it and
maybe enjoying what I have to say is all
the reward I'll ever want,” says Win
Simpson, New Providence, NJ.

“My how-to article that sold to 4-H Maga-
zine for $75 was my rewrite of a Course
assignment,” says Jeanne Shoemaker, Birm-
ingham, AL. “My beloved instructor has
made this Course one of the highlights of
my adult life!”

@ CAN THIS MARRIAGE

continued from page 14

“Okay, this yoga business does drive
me nuts. I’m home alone with Sharon,
and Hannah’s off doing some weird
Eastern thing and going out afterward
with cute young guys. Couldn’t she
spend that time with me instead?

“J don’t think Hannah wants this
marriage to work. I think she’s delib-
erately or subconsciously provoking
me. It would break my heart to lose
her and Sharon, but what can I do?”

The counselor's turn

“After only one session with this cou-
ple, I knew that the first step had to be
the hiring of a cleaning woman. No
amount of counseling would do as

much for them.

“Naturally, they protested, sin
they were paying my fee, plus a baby-
sitter in the afternoon, but I mz
them realize that in their case, house-
hold help was not a luxury but a neces-
sity: It was needed to diffuse the pres-
ent tension. Hannah found someone
who could come to her home for four
hours every other week, and as I pre-
dicted, the level of tension between
them dropped dramatically

“Now we were free to move on to the

problem of Rob’s constant criticism of
Hannah. Because of his resentment
over her messiness, Rob had uncon-
sciously gotten into the habit of belit-
tling his wife; this had blinded him to
her many fine qualities. When I point-
ed this out, Rob vowed to change. He
made a conscious effort to focus on the
ways Hannah was a wonderful mother
and to compliment her in that regard.
She’s very involved in her daughter’s
life and takes her to numerous cultur-
al events. She also treats her daughter
with deep respect. These are all quali-
ties that Rob had always admired but
never mentioned before.

“Of course, Hannah’s housekeeping
standards are not the same as Rob’s,
but our third task was to get her to
realize that even her laissez-faire up-
bringing did not excuse total lack of
regard for order in the house. During
one session, Hannah admitted to being

rovocative on this issue.

“‘T guess ’'m just angry,’ she said at
point, ‘angry that Rob doesn’t ap-
iate what I do, angry that he made

ie give up things I really love, like
ple g the cello.

That’s when Rob spoke up. ‘Look,’
he said, ‘until now, you never men-
tioned all this. I can’t read your mind,
you know.’ Rob explained that he
thought he had been communicative

and that they had reached a mutual)
acceptable decision about Hannal) |
leaving the orchestra.

“At this point, I reminded them
Rob’s comment that Hannah had d'
tanced herself from him. As she hi
said, she was not the type to engage
shouting matches, but in fact, she hi
long had a problem responding to Ri)
on any level. Shy and insecure wil |
her peers as a child, she still found
difficult to open up, which Rob, unde
standably, interpreted as coldness.

“I gave Rob and Hannah a simp)
assignment. They were to concentra
on all the little things they could do
show tenderness and love, whether
was a good-bye hug in the morning
a quick phone call from work durii
the day to say I love you. Long-mé}
ried people, I noted, often forget th)
the simple romantic gesture can he}
cement a relationship.

“I also instructed Rob to curtail }}
verbal barrages and to make sure |
gave Hannah time to respond. If |
was upset about the dog hairs in t]
car, he was to mention it, then wait f
her to say something instead of marc}
ing out of the room. When we pla

to the vet on your lunch hour?’ Tr

LASTING
PAINLESS
HAIR REMOVAL
IS NOW IN
YOUR HANDS.
FINALLY FREE

You don’t have to suffer to be beautiful anymore. Now
there’s Finally Free. A new method of hair removal for
the most sensitive areas, so advanced it makes waxing,
shaving, tweezing—even electrolysis—obsolete.

Finally Free took seven years of research to develop. It
uses the same energy as electrolysis, except there’s no
needle and no heat. So there’s no pain, not even a
twinge.

The exclusive, insulated tweezer-like tips are so revolu-
tionary they are patented. And so easy to use, you simply
hold the unwanted hair between the tips and press the
button. Energy is gently delivered down the hair shaft,
right to the root. Within 15-35 seconds, the hair easily
slides out of the follicle.

Should any regrowth occur, the hair will be lighter and
finer, and after additional treatments the hair will be
removed.

And you needn’t worry about irritations or side effects.
With Finally Free, you can even apply make-up or put
on your skimpiest bikini immediately after treatment.

Once and for all, take care of unwanted hair. At home,
at your own discretion. Call our toll-free number, 1-800-
366-2200, either to order directly, or for a personal
consultation to see if Finally Free is right for your
problem. Or, use the coupon.

out of you and it'll be your last,” he
hissed in my ear. I was too terrified
to make a sound. I prayed that
someone had heard the crash when
he kicked open the door of my
mother’s apartment and grabbed
me off the floor, where I had been
playing with my three-month-old
son. If I scream, he'll kill me and
take Christopher, I thought franti-
cally. I knew I had to do whatever he
asked. The captor my son and I would
spend the next forty-eight hours with
was my husband.

I had met Jack (not his real name) two
years earlier, when I was fourteen and he
was eighteen. He was very tall and hand-
some, and he behaved like a man. But it
was his charisma and the smooth way he
talked that captured my heart.

When Jack told me he loved me, it
was the first
time I could ever

me. At first it was slaps, then punches.
He beat me for almost any reason—if

thrown across rooms and down the

of ways to kill Jack—or myself.

When I became pregnant, I realized I

years old, and my life was a mess. I
filed for divorce, and I started turning
to food for comfort. Soon I couldn’t stop
myself. Several times a week I'd order
a large pepperoni pizza with double
cheese and eat the whole thing. An
average lunch (and often breakfast,
too) consisted of a double-decker ba-
con-cheeseburger with large orders of
french fries, onion rings and a milk
shake. When I was out shopping, I’d
eat an ice-cream cone at one store and
a candy bar at another. I’d munch on
snack foods while waiting in the
checkout line at the grocery store, then
I'd even make a food stop at the gas
station mini-market.

At home, it was even worse. Telling
myself that I couldn’t waste good food
I always cleaned my plate and then
usually ate the entire pot of whatever I
had cooked. Many nights I’d also eat
an entire picnic-size bag of potato
chips and a container of onion dip
while I watched TV.

Not surprisingly, my weight sky-
rocketed. At five feet eight inches, I
had been a svelte 180 pounds when I
got married; now, however, I contin-
ued to gain until I reached my peak
weight of 260 pounds. I hated being

heavy, but I desperately needed the
comfort and the security food gave me.

Our divorce was not yet final when
Jack kidnapped me and the baby, tak-
ing us from my mother’s apartment

building at knifepoint. My only
thought was to protect Christopher. So
I began to act like the repentant wife. I
assured Jack that I had suddenly seen
the error of my ways and that he was
right—we did belong together.

Jack took us to a hotel in a nearby
town for the night. As we pulled into
the parking lot, I noticed a fire station
down the road. If only I could get away
and go there for help, I thought. Be-
cause I had a restraining warrant on
Jack, the police would now be able to
arrest him. But how would I escape?

That night, Jack put my clothes un-
der the mattress and locked my shoes
in the trunk of the car before we went
to bed. I lay there in the darkness for
hours, waiting to make sure Jack was
sound asleep, and then I started plot-
ting my getaway. My biggest concern
was that Christopher would wake up if
I tried to move him. There was no tell-
ing what Jack would do if he caught
me trying to escape. Leaving my son
while I went for help was the hardest
decision I had ever made.

Shortly before four A.M., I quietly got
out of bed. I grabbed a bath towel,

wrapped it around me and crept over '
the door. It seemed like it took hours
turn the lock and doorknob. Noiselessl
I closed the door behind me and bege

ourses as well. I studied journalism
nd started writing. By improving my-
elf I hoped I would make my son
roud of me.

But as the years went by, I became
ncreasingly unhappy about the way I
90ked. I wanted so much to be thin
gain that I even had my jaws wired
hut for two weeks and drank liquid
rotein. Then I became addicted to diet
ills. When the amphetamines made
ay heart pound and my blood race, I’d
ake Valium to calm down.

Taking all those drugs began to
meak havoc on my system—and my
tate of mind. Although I was losing
yeight, I was in terrible shape physical-
y and worn out emotionally. I knew
hat I was addicted to the pills, but I
yas afraid I'd gain back the weight I’d
st if I stopped taking them. Finally I
ecided there was no solution except
uicide. I simply couldn’t cope anymore.

So one evening I sent my son to my
aother’s house under the guise of go-
ng out of town with some friends.
‘hen I swallowed every pill I could
et my hands on—dozens of amphet-
mines, tranquilizers, sleeping pills
nd codeine pain pills. But a friend
ensed something was wrong, and she
roke into my house when I didn’t an-
wer the door. When she found me un-
onscious, she called an ambulance,

contribute to a highly nutritious,
highly digestible formula.

In fact, Purina O.N.E. has more
protein and energy per ounce than

and I was rushed to the hospital,
where my stomach was pumped. After
talking to the resident psychiatrist, I
promised to get psychological help.

Going into therapy finally helped
me turn my life around. I learned that
my weight was not the cause of my
problems, just a symptom. In truth, I
used food as a crutch—first to escape
Jack’s abuse, and then to prevent my-
self from getting involved with anoth-
er man. As long as I was fat, I had an
excuse for being alone.

Once I found out why I overate, los-
ing weight became easier. I also real-
ized that I didn’t have to be afraid of
another relationship. I had grown up a
lot since my marriage.

As my self-esteem began to grow, I
began dieting sensibly. I followed the
Weight Watchers program, and I be-
gan walking and biking every day.
(For more information on the Weight
Watchers program, turn to page 49.) I
stayed away from fried foods, alcohol,
sugar and red meat, and I weighed
myself daily. The weight came off
slowly, but I was becoming much hap-
pier with myself.

When I got down to 210 pounds, I
began working as a large-size model for
the Wilhelmina Agency. I enjoyed the
work so much that I stopped trying to
lose weight. Then one day my sister,

Cheryll, called to tell me my picture
was in Hustler magazine. At first I
thought she was joking. But there, un-
derneath the heading “Save the
Whales,” were two pictures of me from
Big Beautiful Woman magazine: one in
a bathing suit, the other in a night-
gown. The article ridiculed large-size
models and said that these “fatties”
were lucky to make it home from the
beach without “harpoon wounds.” I was
livid. Yet deep down I knew I was fat.

I rejoined Weight Watchers a few
days later and started exercising
again. In fact, I lost so much weight
that I lost my modeling job, too!

Today, I’m 130 pounds again. With
my new body has come a new career as

magazines and newspapers, and I’ve
been asked to speak to women’s groups
and appear on talk shows. And just
recently, I wrote my first book, called
The Weighting Game, to help other
women lose weight and follow a
healthy, balanced lifestyle, especially
battered women, who need to have
hope and strength. After all, I’m living
proof that you can change your life.

: V Viren your gums bleed,
chances are it’s not because you
brush your teeth too hard. More
likely, it is a sign of gingivitis—
the early and reversible stage of
gum disease. Left unchecked,
gingivitis can lead to more serious
stages of gum disease. And gum
disease is the leading cause of
adult tooth loss.

The good news is that with
proper oral care, gingivitis can be
prevented. And now there is a
new toothpaste that actually helps
reduce gingivitis associated with
plaque: Checks Up” Gingival
Toothpaste with SN4X” Fluoride.

How Gingivitis Develops.
Most gingivitis starts with
plaque, an invisible film of bac-
teria that constantly forms on
your teeth. Plaque converts
sugars and starches into acids

A triumph of love

Jill Eikenberry almost lost a daughter in an accident, and
she faced her own battle with breast cancer. Both of

these challenges have helped the L.A. Law star to become
the strong and confident woman she is today

Ann Kelsey, the power-

But in real life, she has weathered more
trouble and near-tragedy than the shel-
tered Ann Kelsey has ever seen. Five
years ago, Jill’s beloved stepdaughter,
Alison (Tucker’s child by his first mar-
riage), almost died in a car accident that
shattered virtually every bone in her body
and left her in a coma for three-and-a-half
days. Then, shortly after Alison had re-
gained her health, in May 1986, Jill heard
the diagnosis every woman dreads: She
had a malignant breast tumor.

Jill went public with the inspiring story
of her breast cancer and recovery last fall
in an acclaimed NBC documentary, Des-
tined to Live, which will be shown again
this spring. Now, in the cheerful living
room of her airy, sun-filled house high in
the hills above Los Angeles, she reveals
some of her private pain. Michael and Ali-
son, a vivacious eighteen these days, sit
close by; Max, the couple’s six-year-old
son, is at school. There is much love and
laughter in the room as they banter back
and forth about Alison’s
unwillingness to brush her
unruly red hair, about Mi-
chael’s addiction to pasta
with butter and Jill’s fond-
ness for fattening cheese.

Clearly, it was that closeness that got
them through the hard times; clearly, too,
they still share the searing memories. Jill
recalls how she felt just after learning of
her cancer: “Michael andI _— (continued)

(continued) just held each other. We sat or stood or lay
on the bed and just: held on tight. I worried so much
about dying, about leaving Max and Alison and Michael.
I had trouble sleeping for quite a while. The first thing
you experience is raw fear. The second is the question of
what will happen to all of your loved ones.”

Jill consulted two breast specialists, who gave differ-
ing opinions: The first recommended a modified radi-
cal mastectomy to remove the entire breast; the second
said that a lumpectomy, removing only the malignant
tissue, would be sufficient. She welcomed the chance to
choose between the two. “When you first hear you
have cancer, you feel that you have lost control of life
and are a victim of it all,” she says. “But when you
have a choice, you feel you are back at the reins. For
me, that choice was a turning point.”

She opted for a lumpectomy, even though it meant
two months of radiation therapy just as her TV career
was taking off. The family had only recently moved
West from New York City; L.A. Law producer Ste-
ven Bochco, a college chum of Michael’s, had written
the Kelsey and Markowitz roles into his new series

An episode of the

drama series L.A. Law ‘

Michael, here with the |
cast, to express jam

their fears about

Jill's illness

especially for them.
And he arranged
the filming sched-
ule to accommo-
date Jill—so that she could leave at three each after-
noon for therapy and treatment programs.

The love of others

Jill was fortunate in the compassion of her colleagues.
“Steven wrote a wonderful episode for us where Stuart
asks Ann if she wants to work all of her life,” Jill says.
“When she says yes, he asks, ‘But what if you get sick?
It was so close to what was happening in our lives—so
close to the surface—and it was great to be able to use
that in our work. It was written with so much love and
understanding.” They were grateful for the demands

their new roles made. “We threw ourselves into our
work; it was a form of denial,” Jill reflects.
Solace also flowed from the family. Little Max at one

point startled his mother by asking, “Mom, are you
going to die? Will you die before me?” Jill quickly
reassuréd him with a hug and a promise that “I am
going to be with you for a very, very long time.”
Alison, who had been raised by Jill since she was a
toddler (“she’s my mom and I have never called her
Jill!” she says indignantly), was particularly support-

“Tt is these sorts of things—my illness,
Alison’s accident—that make you aware that
becoming a TV star isn’t such a big deal.”

ive. “Alison and I have a wonderful relationship,” says
her stepmother. “When we heard the news about the
cancer, we shared it with Alison. We tried to turn it
into something less frightening, and while I wasn’t
feeling as positive as I was sounding, Alison picked up
on the cues and did the same. She was my optimistic
tower of strength.”

And this was appropriate, considering that Alison
had already faced—and won—her own struggle with
adversity. In the summer of 1983, the thirteen-year-
old was enjoying an offbeat holiday, touring the Irish
countryside via a picturesque horse-drawn caravan
with her mother and grandfather when disaster
struck. Alison was leading the horse down the road
when a speeding car smashed into her.

Tossed twenty feet by the impact, the teenager land-
ed in a bramble bush. It cushioned her fall, but her
injuries were terrible nonetheless. Jill and Michael
heard the news in faraway New York, where they
were living with six-month-o9ld Max. “I got this tele-
phone call that said she’d been hit by a car, that she
was in a coma and that they didn’t know if she was
going to come out of it,” Michael says. “We
didn’t even have passports. and there was
no time to get to a bank.”

Here, too, the couple were blessed in
their friends. To the rescue came actor-
director Henry Winkler and his wife, Sta-
cey, who interceded with the State De-
partment to arrange for passage without
passports, money or airline tickets.

“A limousine just pulled up at the door,
and the driver told us everything was al-
ready taken care of,” Jill reports. Money
was waiting when they changed planes in
London. And in Ireland, the kindness of
strangers materialized. “When we got to
Shannon airport, I realized I couldn’t drive
two hours on the opposite side of the road
in the state I was in,” Michael says, “so I asked a taxi
driver to drive, telling him the whole story.”

The Irish cabbie made a phone call, piled the family
into his car and then drove straight home to his own
family. “He told us we needed something to eat,” Jill
recalls with wonder. “His wife had tea and food wait-
ing for us. Then he took us-on to the hospital, and while
we were with Alison, he drove around to find us a bed-
and-breakfast place to stay in.”

The will to live

The couple spent two days by Alison’s bedside, talking
to her and praying. Finally, their prayers were an-
swered—and in a characteristic way. “I was holding
her hand and bending over her saying, ‘It’s Daddy,
darling, can you hear me?’” Michael says. “Finally
she muttered in a soft voice, ‘Barely.’ It was enough of
a wise-guy answer to tell me she would be all right.”
But it was a long, slow recovery. Several weeks after
the accident, Alison was flown back to New York,
encased in a full-body cast and stretched over several
seats of the airplane. She spent one (continued)

month there in physical and psychological therapy.

Even as she regained physical strength, she still had no
short-term memory. “She could remember her childhood,
but not things that happened a week ago or ten minutes
ago,” reports Michael. Then, typically, just as he’s waxing
emotional about their terrible ordeal, he decides it’s time to
lighten the atmosphere with a zinger. “Of course, she’s still
fairly stupid ...” he adds, and both burst out laughing.

Laughter also speeded Jill’s convalescence from can-
cer—but it was tears that wrought the final healing. One
day during her recovery, she met an old friend, TV
producer Linda Otto, for lunch. Linda had also overcome
breast cancer, and she suggested they put together a
documentary on women who had survived and prospered
after surgery.

Jill readily agreed but
down. “It was a lu

Once she decided to go ahead wit sct, Jill’s
involvement was deep. She served as host -produc-
er, sharing the hopeful stories of one hu: survivors,
including such household names as Nanc and
Gloria Steinem—as well as women like Jill’s au Va
Timmons, who suffered breast cancer more tha ty
years ago. And for her efforts, Jill received the excellence-
in-media award from the Susan G. Komen Foundation, a
40 DIES’ HOME JOURNAL - JANUARY 1989

large private fund for breast-cancer research.

“We tried to tell women it’s not the end of the worl
The good thing about my story and those of all the oth:
women is that it shows cancer can be beaten and thi
we've all gone on to successful, fulfilling lives.”

She certainly has. In addition to L.A. Law, Jill starre
last fall in two well-received TV movies. One, A Stonir
in Fulham County, was inspired by the true story of tl
death of an Amish baby in a small Pennsylvania tow
The other came closer to home; in A Family Again, sk
and Michael co-starred in a poignant tale about a coup
trying to put their lives back together after the accident
death of their eldest daughter.

Jill says she’s glad that her rising stardom gave great;
visibility to her cancer message. But she adds: “It is the
sorts of things—my illness, Alison’s accident—that give yc
a real perspective on life. They make you aware that b
coming a TV star is probably not as big a deal as you thin
There are so many more important things than that.”

These days, the Eikenberry-Tucker household is tryiz
to stay in touch with those important things. Jill—wl]

health—is cultivating her rose and herb gardens ar
savoring her moments with Max. Alison is now enroll
in drama school at Fordham, in New York City, and loc

They are all still joking, especially about the heig.
difference between five-foot-five Michael and five-foc
seven Jill. He notes that a British TV interviewer recer
ly referred to them as “the knockout and the gnome.” Ar
then he adds wryly: “Bet you can’t pick which one is tl]

By Mary Mohler and Margery D. Rosen

ot tonight,
honey... Has your lovelife fizzled since the baby was born?
According to Penny Wise Budoff, M.D., founder of the

Women’s Medical Center, in Bethpage, New York, many new parents don’t realize how
much that little bundle of joy can douse the flames of passion. The best way to
mitigate guilty feelings, Budoff advises—and find a solution to your problem—is to
understand exactly what's happening to your body and your emotions postpartum.

The first six weeks
The reason your doctor told you to abstain from sexual relations (and, for
that matter, tub baths, tampons and swimming) for four to six weeks after
childbirth is that your cervix and uterus are prone to infection until they've
shrunk back to normal size. Even so, the ban on intercourse doesn‘t mean you
can’t have any closeness at all. “During the first weeks of new parenthood,
couples need the warmth of physical contact,” says Budoff. ‘Kissing, hugging
and massages can be wonderful ways to give each other pleasure.”
Episiotomies and caesareans

Each woman varies in regard to recovery time and pain threshold, but most
often the six-week period of enforced celibacy coincides with the time it takes
to feel physically comfortable making love again. “Just be sure to fell your
husband that you’re okay,” says Budoff. “He may be afraid of hurting you.”
The role of hormones

What if you don’t want to make love, even after the doctor
gives you the go-ahead? If you’re nursing, the culprit may be
prolactin, a hormone produced in high levels while you're
lactating. Many doctors believe this hormone may suppress

old, for daily use. Then we’d have to
put him on a special shelf where he
would be loved from a distance and
shown the great respect he would by
then have earned. ‘*But that will be

I had reassured her. I forgot about me.

The ends of Doggie’s ears are pa-

her nose in the ritual she performed as
her prelude to slumber. The ears still
(I check) carry the scent of childsleep,
that earthy, lovely smell that wraps
itself around our young ones every
morning.

I remember Doggie’s roles: student,
in hundreds of impromptu indoor and
outdoor classrooms. Offspring, of ar-
bitrary gender. Much-maligned hus-
band. Wildly erratic driver of the little
red wagon and frequent accident vic-
tim of same. Even silent sufferer of
chicken pox, complete with taped-on
red construction paper dots to emulate
his owner’s.

] remember Julie’s grandpa once in-
nocently suggesting that she throw her
beat-up Doggie away and get a new
one, and how Julie’s heart and mine
protested in unison and outrage,
though on the outside we only politely
demurred.

Now Doggie lives on the shelf, and
except in times of extreme heartache,
he doesn’t come down anymore. And
in that moment, I realize Doggie
and I have both been shelved, in

If you're ready to get rid of those
unflattering post-holiday y pounds, here’s
a weight-loss plan —..

re you joining the multitudes who ring in the New Year with
resolutions to win the battle of the bulge? “More diets are born on
New Year's Day than at any other time,” says Nema Frye, R.D., of
Weight Watchers International, in Jericho, New York. p r Ft -

Unfortunately, too many diets are short-lived; excess pounds and / LY Gweer aE
inches remain or return, and all those good intentions dissolve

like so much melting snow. 5
But it doesn’t have to be that way. “There can be something Covlies. / Corby ond
very positive about the first of the year,” says Ronna Kabatznick,
Ph.D., psychological consultant to Weight Watchers. “The slate is aa ke ( he
symbolically wiped clean, and you are ready to move forward.” = CO
The key to sticking to good resolutions is to be realistic: Aim to

lose one to two pounds a week. tr nid
To help you do just that, Weight Watchers International, known Bet

for its sensible, nutritious and tasty approach to eating, has
developed a set of palate-pleasing, 1,200-calorie-a-day menus Lh 10. Dy
exclusively for Ladies’ Home Journal readers (page 52). na PAA

To lose excess weight slowly and safely, use these menus as a

t
guide to create your own diet-smart meals by adapting them to suit 200 i
your individual tastes. Substitute fish for chicken, for example, or Once Ar

one fruit or vegetable for another. Just be sure to keep portion

sizes comparable, and stick to the types of food used here: fresh

fruits and vegetables, cereals and grains, dairy products, and lean meat or other low-fat pro-
tein sources. Depending on how quickly you shed pounds—and how soon you reach your goal
weight—you can begin to add an occasional treat, such as a favorite dessert or glass of wine.

MM The exercise connection

The new year is the perfect time for improving your eating habits and also taking another

look at exercise. If you, like many women, don’t have time to jog or do aerobics regularly, take heart. Every time you
move, you burn calories. “Physical activity includes all bodily movement, not only what we normally think of as
exercise,” says William D. McArdle, Ph.D., exercise consultant to Weight Watchers. (continued)

(continued) To figure out how to put more activity into your
routine, let’s look at how many calories an average busy
woman burns on a typical day. (All figures are approximate.)

11:00 P.m.-7:00 A.M. Sleep eight hours: 360 calories
7:00-7:30 A.M. Make breakfast and eat, partly stand-
ing, mostly sitting: 30 calories

7:30-8:30 A.M. Get kids off to school, husband off to
work, straighten up: 120 calories

8:30-9:00 A.M. Go to work—drive ten blocks to station,
take train and bus to office: 30 calories

9:00 A.M.-1:00 P.M. Perform normal office routine, in-
cluding walking, typing, filing: 360 calories

1:00-2:00 P.M. Lunch hour spent shopping; traveling by
bus: 60 calories

2:00-5:00 P.M. Normal office routine: 250 calories
5:00-6:00 p.m. Go home from work—bus and train to
station; drive ten blocks home: 30 calories

6:00-7:00 P.M. Prepare dinner—some walking, some
standing: 75 calories

7:00-7:30 P.M. Eat dinner, chat at table: 35 calories
7:30-9:00 P.M. Wash dishes, mop floor, vacuum, do
laundry, write letters: 180 calories

9:00-9:30 P.M. Put children to bed, lay out clothing for
the next day: 45 calories

9:30-11:00 P.M. Watch TV, read, go to bed: 90 calories

TOTAL CALORIE EXPENDITURE: 1,665

While the schedule outlined here sounds hectic, this hard
day’s work may not help a woman lose weight. In fact, if
calorie intake goes above 1,665, she may gain. Here’s how
our typical woman could boost energy expenditure:
HB Walk briskly to and from the train station both morning
and evening: 30 minutes—150 calories
H Walk from store to store while shopping instead of taking
the bus: 20 minutes—100 calories

With these simple changes, an additional 250 calories per
day are used.

have a long-
ficult to envision
tead of aiming for

complete, immediate transformation, picture yourself as, say,
ten pounds lighter. When you reach that goal, you can decide
if you want, or need, to lose more weight.

WM Accept the lapse, avoid the relapse. A lapse is a small,
temporary slipup; relapse, on the other hand, is what happens
when a single lapse turns into many. So if you err, simply
forgive yourself and get back on track. The important thing is
to recover from the lapse and learn something from it.

i Be aware of your binge triggers. The seemingly uncontrolla-
ble urge to overeat does not appear out of the blue. The quiz
below will help you spot your trigger situations and develop
constructive responses that don’t involve food.

HE Don't pull the trigger!

IN THE SPACE TO THE RIGHT OF EACH STATEMENT, PUT A 3
IF THE PHRASE IS ALWAYS TRUE FOR YOU, 2 IF IT’S SOME-
TIMES TRUE, AND 1 IF IT’S NEVER TRUE.

| feel especially tempted to overeat when:
1. | am visiting with friends. (P)
2. | am feeling very happy or very sad. (F)
3. | am in a new situation—especially one
involving travel. (A)
4. | am around large quantities of food. (S)
5. | am celebrating a special occasion or
entertaining friends. (E)
6. | am feeling physically or emotionally
fatigued. (F)
7. | am in food stores, ice-cream shops
or bakeries. (S)
8. | am at a social function, such as a sports
event ar wedding. (E)
9. | am reading or watching television. (A)
10. | am with others who are eating. (P)

Now total your scores for each letter:

pate ee Sees Pees
Pepe: Rite ee

Each letter represents a common eating trigger: “P,”

the people trigger, means you're especially likely to

eat in the presence of others. “F,” feeling trigger, means
strong emotions often cause you to overeat. “A,” activity
trigger, indicates watching TV or going to movies may
prompt unplanned eating. “S,” sensory trigger, means
you're likely to indulge at the sight or smell of tempting
foods. “E,” event trigger, suggests special occasions
prompt you to splurge.

A score of 5 or 6 for a particular letter means this is a
trigger you definitely need to work on; 3 or 4 means some
work is needed; 2 or less means this is not one of your
binge triggers. Now that you’ve discovered what triggers
your binges, you can begin to change your behavior. For
example, if your trigger happens to be sensory, instead of
giving in to temptation next time you pass a gourmet cookie
shop, remind yourself how well you are doing and
congratulate yourself for walking on by.

Cybill Shepherd is hav- ladies bring

ing an anxiety attack. A
bona fide, grade A cheers, tears

anxiety attack. The sub- and careers to
ject is Moonlighting.

‘We begin filming the big screen
in ten days, and I still this winter

haven’t seen a script,”
she says, her voice be- §S@Q@SONn

ginning to rise. “‘Not

one single page! That makes me nuts.”

Whoa! Something’s wrong here. Cybill and I are
supposed to be talking about Chances Are, her up-
coming movie co-starring Ryan O’Neal—her first
since her Moonlighting comeback three years ago.
That’s what you’d think would have her tossing and
turning at night. After all, the last few films she
made in the late seventies were so maligned by
critics and ignored by the public, she was forced to
flee Hollywood for years.

‘‘T try not to let that worry me,’’ she says, and
then pauses for a moment. ‘‘It doesn’t always work,
but even if I get bad reviews, I can’t run back and
change the performance.”’

Cybill insists she’s glad she did the film, which
she says was a far more enjoyable project than work-
ing on Moonlighting.

**Making this film was like a gift from heaven,
because Moonlighting was not a happy work experi-
ence,’’ she says. ‘‘The scripts are always late. The
schedule is a killer—you’re always tired and under
the gun. On this film I sometimes worked fourteen
hours a day, but it was a very respectful and collabo-
rative atmosphere—and | had a lot of fun.”

For years, Cybill and
her co-stars have de-
nied the never-ending .
rumors that their set is
rougher than a Satur-
day night at the roller
derby. Now, however,
she admits that for
much of last season,
she was locked in an

almost constant battle 4 beaming Cybill on the

(continued) creator and former executive pro-
ducer, who left at the beginning of the season.
‘‘There was terrible contention between Glenn
and me, particularly at the end,’’ she admits.
‘I think I drove him crazy because he
couldn’t control me. He would be abusive
toward me, screaming that I didn’t care about
my work.”’

Cybill also admits that she and Bruce Willis
sometimes verbally duke it out, although she
insists, ‘‘With Bruce and me, it’s different—
we’re more like kids fighting. When you're
working with someone for nine or ten months straight,
it’s like being in prison together. You go through
periods where you hate each other’s guts. But when I
look back on what we’ve done together, I’m so im-
pressed. He’s so talented, so really talented.”

After the turmoil of Moonlighting, some might
have thought that Chances Are would be a little like
going from the frying pan into the fire. After all,
Cybill’s co-star in the film, Ryan O’Neal, also has a
reputation for being a handful on the set.

As it turns out, she insists, she and her co-star got
along fabulously. “‘I don’t know, I just felt comfortable
with him. It was amazing doing a love scene with him.”’

There’s a devilish tone in Cybill’s voice as she
explains the various love triangles in Chances Are,
directed by Emile (Dirty Dancing) Ardolino. Cybill
plays a woman who falls in love, not knowing the

man is her late husband
* (played by Robert Downey,

Jr.), who has been reincarnat-

ed as a younger man. Yes, Cy-

bill also has a love scene with

m Downey, who, at twenty-

three, is fifteen years younger.

Now Cybill says she’d like
to make another film as soon
ible and has already re-

‘ceived a number of offers—
including « sible sequel to
The Last Pictu Show, the
film that launched her career.
arias ‘*But mostly, I want io be with
Cybill takes her my children and my husband. I
chances with Robert work a lot, and every free mo-
Downey, Jr., in her ment I have, I want to be with
new film, Chances Are — them.”’ -ERIC SH

LADIES -

Bette Midler
gels serious

t is the face that launched a thousand schticks—an

animated, moon-shaped puss that was destined for

comedy. How can you help laughing when you

look at those gigantic, saucer-shaped eyes ready to

pop forth at a moment’s notice? Combine that with

Hollywood’s most flamboyant talent since Mae
West, and you’ve got Bette Midler—the sassiest, trash-
iest, funniest woman in America.

But hold everything! After racking up four hit come-
dies in a row (Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Ruthless
People, Outrageous Fortune, Big Business), the wick-
edly Divine Miss M is suddenly getting serious. In her
holiday release, Beaches, she takes on her first dramat-
ic role since she won an Academy Award nomination
for The Rose in 1979. After laughing with Bette for so
long, is America ready to cry again?

‘*] think her fans are going to see a Bette they’ve
never seen before, even in The Rose,’’ says co-star
Barbara Hershey. “‘In this film, you see her for what
she really is: a very warm and introspective person.”’

In Beaches Bette plays CC Bloom, a (continued)

(continued) brash and streetwise singer with a
surprisingly vulnerable side. In many ways, it’s
an accurate description of Midler herself—a
woman who can camp it up when the camera is
rolling, then show an unlikely quiet side when
the director hollers ‘‘cut!”’

‘‘Having known her casually for a while, I
was used to the brassy Bette,’’ says the director
of Beaches, Garry Marshall, who also directed
The Flamingo Kid and Nothing in Common.

L
‘‘But what I didn’t realize is that she has a very

tender, emotional side.”’

And that may be because of her most satisfying
role, as a wife and mother. Much of that tender-
ness comes from Bette’s two-year-old daughter,
Sophie, who was constantly on the Beaches set.
During breaks, the Divine Momma M would make a
beeline for her toddler.

“‘I’d spend every spare moment between takes read-
ing over the script,’ says Lainie Kazan, who plays
Bette’s mother in the film. “‘I’d be sitting there furiously
preparing, and Bette would be playing with her child.
There would be a call for action, she’d hand the baby
over to someone, jump right into the scene, do it
perfectly, then walk right back to her baby. It all seemed
to come so easily for her.””

So easily that she has agreed to write a book on
her techniques of motherhood culled from her experi-
ences with Sophie. The book is due in the fall.

Whether or not Beaches does well at the box
office, we’ll be seeing a lot of the more serious Miss
M in the future. Her next movie is expected to be a
remake of Stella Dallas, the 1937 Barbara Stanwyck
melodrama about a mother who sacrifices her own

happiness for her

daughter. Anyone

Having braved
outer space

and the African
jungle, Sigourney
Weaver makes a
~ play for the
executive suite

Sigourney Weaver
goes to work

No one can say Sigourney Weaver can’t tough it out. She
out-Ramboed Stallone by barbecuing her extraterrestrial
adversaries in Alien and its sequel Aliens. She was possessed
by a demon that resided in the dairy section of her
refrigerator in Ghostbusters. Then the thirty-nine-year-old
actress became den mother to a group of four-hundred-fifty-
pound mountain gorillas when she played American
naturalist Dian Fossey in the fall hit Gorillas In the Mist.

You’d think after spending all that time in the African
jungle, she’d just want to relax for a while. But heck no,
Sigourney Weaver is a Working Girl. That's the name of her
newest movie, directed by Mike Nichols, and it is the film
that confirms she’s become one of today’s biggest stars.

In Working Girl, co-starring Melanie Griffith and Harrison
Ford, Sigourney plays a high-powered executive who knows
what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it. In-reality,
however, it took Sigourney some time to figure out what her
goals were and a while longer to realize them. But her
legacy was show business. Her father, Sylvester “Pat”
Weaver, is a former president of NBC; her mother, Elizabeth
Inglis, is a former British actress.

Determined to make her own way in acting, Sigourney
enrolled in drama school at Stanford and later Yale, where
she was a classmate of Meryl Streep’s. After graduation she
appeared with Ingrid Bergman in the Broadway production
of The Constant Wife, and after a few stops on the daytime
TV circuit, she landed the Alien role, which jump-started her
career and led to parts in such hits as The Year of Living
Dangerously, Ghostbusters and Eyewitness.

What's next for this busy and talented actress? It seems
to be a role she can play at home with her husband of four
years, theatrical director Jim Simpson. “My husband and |
are thinking about being parents,” she reveals. “That's more
important than running eT ra
around [on screen] with
guns.” —MiKE HAMMER

COMMON RESPONSE

Grounding; other punishments, such as no TV;
criticism

Nagging, humiliating kids in front of friends;
ignoring problem—you avoid conflict, but you
end up doing all the work

Nag, yell; tell her she is letting you down

Nag, blame, induce guilt; threaten to take
possessions away; make invidious comparisons
(“look how careful your sister is’’)

Nag; accuse her of character flaws and make
her feel worthless

Rant and rave (“you're always in front of the
TV’); ban TV; do nothing (easier to give in
than argue over it)

Scold (‘your room looks like a pigsty’’);
punish by withholding privileges

Limit or forbid use of car; buy another car—
overindulging to avoid conflict

Ban certain friends; bad-mouth them constantly;
criticize her and blame her faults on friends

Yell about the law; preach about dead
athletes; ground him or punish in other ways;
serve beer to him and his friends, figuring it’s
safer if you know they're doing it at home;
deny the problem

Get angry and disgusted; act self-righteous;
control her every move; deny situation and fail
to deal with it

Induce guilt (“you won't have us to kick
around much longer”); retaliate by
withdrawing

BETTER RESPONSE

Make homework fun; praise for work well done and for
showing interest; don’t show worry; get involved daily

Create a sense of family interdependence about chores;
let kids choose their own chores and make up a
schedule; divide chores into small, easily manageable
tasks; be patient, but don’t do it yourself

Remember that she is not an extension of you; create a
schedule she feels she can manage; reevaluate the
activity—she may not really be interested

Remind gently—make sure your expectations are not
too high for his level; involve him in purchases to teach
the value of money

Children are rarely really lazy—if she seems lacking in
energy, she may have a physical ailment or a
psychological problem. Seek professional help

Provide more stimulating activities and help him
develop other interests—TV is often an answer to
general boredom

If she’s doing well in general, shut the door and forget
it—kids need to assert autonomy somewhere

Establish rules about car availability, paying for gas, and
so on; help him find safe alternate means of
transportation and other means of expressing autonomy

Talk to her friends—you don’t have to like them,
but you should get to know them. Really bad-news
friends (e.g., drug users) should be banned

Educate yourself about drugs and alcohol and the signs
of drug use; share the information with your child; talk
to his friends’ parents and develop a united front; seek
advice from school counselors or other professionals;
never serve alcohol to minors

Preaching won't help. To prevent
disasters, you must provide a firm
foundation of your own beliefs in
the early years

Teenagers need autonomy, so give
him space—nevertheless, insist on
knowing where he is going; be
open—don’t withhold affection

Barbara and Rayburn are at a cross-
roads in their marniage. Which way will

they turn? A new short story from one of America’s finest writers

he marriage was riddled with hurt like
buckshot, but they were determined not to
acknowledge it.

Barbara and Rayburn were riding the
waves in a tall old galleon of a house,
three stories, peaks and cornices and a

brave tarnished weathercock atilt on the highest
roof. Eleven years before, being driven up the
rutted driveway in the real estate agent’s station
wagon, Barbara had laid her hand on Rayburn’s
arm and said, “This is it.” At first sight. In-
side, the high-ceilinged rooms were so airy, so
capacious, no one would have thought to call
them drafty. And the three floors demanded to be
filled: perfect for children, they agreed, though,
at the time, they had none. So they bought the
house with a mortgage and had, in startling suc-
cession, three children, a boy, two girls. And now
we had better stop, Rayburn said, a little fright-
ened. For when they quarreled, it was inevitably

a a Re =

over the house; the enormous fact of the house.
Home, as Rayburn was given to saying, in won-
der and dread.

Now Barbara’s sister Crystal, three years older
than she but mysteriously younger, weaker, in
need of solace, wanted her to come visit over-
night: to talk about Crystal’s problems with her
husband, from whom she was separated. “You
want to drive there alone?” Ray- yup
burn said, as if the idea were a
preposterous. “It’s three hundred
miles at least, and half the roads HF) (he
are unimproved.” “It’s more like 9) =
two hundred miles,” Barbara (iyjepiee
said, “and the roads are perfectly ‘improved’ and
you know it.” But he was off hunting up the AAA
book of maps, whistling. Barbara called out to
him, “The last time we drove any distance to-
gether we vowed we'd never do it again.”

“But sweetie,” Rayburn said, (continued)

continued

leafing through the maps, “we didn’t
mean it.”

He saw that the distance was closer
to two hundred than three. Examining
a map’s venous little galaxy of roads,
rivers and mountains never failed to
arouse a childish sort of excitement in
him; there was always something ro-
mantic about the prospect of a trip, as
if leaving home invariably meant ven-
turing into uncharted territory.

t first the drive went uneventfully

enough, but then Rayburn could

see at the horizon a gathering of
that species of storm clouds weather-
men like to call ominous. Rayburn
said, as if it were still an issue be-
tween them, “It’s a good thing you
aren’t making this drive alone, there’s
going to be a real storm.”

Barbara said, “Honey, don’t,” and
Rayburn said pleasantly, “I was only
making a meteorological observation.”

Forty minutes later the rain began,
hammering on the windshield, the
roof, the hood of the car; the entire sky
had darkened with an apocalyptic bur-
nished sheen. Beauty to pierce the
heart. Rayburn was thinking how he
and Barbara had been unfaithful to

each other in turn, as if in reference to
each other, though that hadn’t seemed
to have been the point at the time. He
was thinking that he could not bear
the love he felt for her and for the
children, its terrible intensity, for
which nothing in his previous life had
prepared him: He was after all only
thirty-one years old.

Rayburn was a lawyer, an assistant
to the county prosecutor. He under-
stood that his sense of the world was
adversarial, at least questioning, in-
terrogating, chipping away at, thus he
made the effort, daily, hourly! to see
the other side of things. He guessed
that he would not like himself much if
he did not inhabit his own skin and
felt consequently a guilty shaky won-
dering gratitude to Barbara for loving
him when there were others easier to
love, and more deserving.

Rayburn felt an unreasoned fury
overtake him. Swearing, complaining
what an ill-advised trip this was, and
would Crystal ever contemplate doing
as much for Barbara?—absolutely not:
The woman was wholly selfish, narcis-
sistic, blind to others. His disapproval
of her began, in fact, with her very
name, that self-chosen silly name, for
hadn’t their parents called her some-
thing ordinary like Margaret? And
when they'd first met, years ago, be-

“So have I,” Barbara said.

rystal was rattled as if somehow

she hadn’t expected visitors, or

hadn’t expected them at that par-
ticular moment. At Rayburn’s first
sight of her he felt a pang of guilt:
Crystal looked drawn, pale, defense-
less, sad: as sad as a glamorous woman
in her thirties can look and still quali-
fy as glamorous. She’d bleached her
hair bone-white and had it cut in saw-
tooth punkish style, a style much too
young for her, and her face was lavish-
ly made up. She was a tall, full-bodied
woman in designer jeans and a black
eyelet sweater. A model or actress, you
might think, meeting Crystal for the
first time, but, no, in fact she had a
responsible position with a bank. She
was no feathery-brained fool as she
liked, particularly in the presence of
men, to pretend.

The women soon withdrew to the
kitchen to talk, to drink together (cof-
fee for Barbara, beer for Crystal—“just
one or two, no more”) while Rayburn,
sensing himself unwanted, went to the
upstairs bedroom in which he and Bar-
bara were to sleep that night. But he
soon felt restless. He was drawn to the
sisters downstairs, their voices lifting
but their words teasing, undecipher-
able. What were they talking about?

‘pan from Baker's Secret (look

Only about Crystal’s marriage, not of
Barbara’s? So, shamelessly, he joined
them...accepted the can of beer
Crystal readily offered, and asked with
a smile if there wasn’t something he
could do to make himself useful.
Household repairs, yardwork, that sort
of thing—“God knows I get enough
practice at home in that house of
ours.” He’d been on the verge of saying
“that dump of ours,” and he sensed
how Barbara steeled herself in expec-
tation. But he knew better. He was on
his good behavior.

Crystal laughed in delight, as if Ray-
burn’s offer was an oblique form of flir-
tation, which perhaps it was; asking,
“Are you serious?—of course there are
things that need doing with Jake gone
now for almost a month.”

His first task was hauling out weeks
of accumulated trash to the curb. He
fell into the rhythm of squatting, grip-
ping, lifting, carrying; feeling with
pleasure the tug and strain of his mus-
cles. Leaves and other debris lay ev-
erywhere underfoot in Crystal’s
cramped yard. Maybe in the morning
he’d clean it up a bit. Rayburn had yet
to begin his cleanup work at home,
but there he hadn’t felt motivated.

had met only once or twice) had not, as

walked away from Crystal so much as
been forced to leave. He was Crys-
tal’s third husband, and there were no
children, and that, Rayburn thought,
suffused with pity, was maybe the prob-
lem: Crystal, childless, seemed com-
pelled to remain childish herself.

Sometimes in the night when he and
Barbara couldn’t sleep, one might
whisper to the other, Can you imagine
what it would be like, what we’d be
like now, without them?—and the oth-
er, knowing always what “them”
meant, would only say, No. I can’t.

On his way back to the house, climb-
ing the steps to the kitchen door, Ray-
burn stopped to watch the sisters in-
side, talking earnestly, it seemed al-
most passionately, in his absence. Ah,
a voyeur’s stab of excitement!—there
was Barbara in a white cableknit
sweater and flannel slacks, nodding
sharply, smiling, frowning, and there
was Crystal, cigarette burning in her
fingers, talking, gesturing, exploding
with nervous laughter like a fit of
coughing, so much more flamboyant,
so much more living than Barbara. By
an accident of light or by way of her
own furious emotion, she looked, in
that instant, startlingly beautiful,
young again and vulnerable. By con-
trast Barbara was muted, three years
younger than Crystal but looking
three years older, or more. She was an
attractive woman clearly past the
bloom of youth; but not much caring.

He burst into the kitchen noisy, un-
guilty, and the sisters glanced at him
startled as if indeed they'd forgotten
him. But Crystal, flirty Crystal, shifted
her attention to him at once, and within
seconds there was another beer in his
hand, and he was being thanked for all
he’d done in such a luxury of female
gratitude his face burned. In the morn-
ing, he said, he’d do more work around
the house. Barbara cut her eyes at him,
but Crystal advanced upon him and
flung her arms around his neck, “What
a sweetheart you are,” she cried, and
though close up Rayburn saw tight lines
at the corner of her eyes, and the coarse-
ness of her pores through the lush pan-
cake makeup, what the hell. Playful
and rowdy as a cowboy in a television
ad for beer, Rayburn scrunched her
against him, the two of them stagger-
ing, tottering, screaming with laughter.
Crystal’s hot breath smelled of beer and
craziness, and Rayburn was thinking,

Just what we all need.

subdued, not entirely sober; and

Rayburn’s quick appraisal of Crystal,

know that there had been serious ta

adn’t meant them, and Barbara mur-

warm light, oblivious of him. The
woman who was his wife and had had
his children, and the woman who was
his sister-in-law, both infinitely mys-
terious. How happy he was, suddenly,
in his maleness! Gently he began to
make love to Barbara, but gently she
rebuked him, for of course it wasn’t the
time, Crystal in the next room, and
they were both exhausted, so in relief
of a kind Rayburn contented himself
with pressing his warm face against
Barbara’s and gripping her tight until
she murmured, “Honey—that hurts,”
and Rayburn said, “It’s meant to.”

ext day when they said good-bye

to Crystal, the three of them

standing in the driveway, Crystal
coatless, wearing only a sweater, hug-
ging herself and shivering, Rayburn
made the suggestion, perhaps tactless-
ly, that Crystal move out of the house,
perhaps take an apartment, for a
change of scene, and Crystal said,
hurt, “But this is home—what if Jake
comes home and I’m not here?”

First Barbara drove, and then Ray-
burn drove, and he felt the gravita-
tional tug of all that awaited them at
home, resolved and unresolved. The
mood in the car was wayward, impro-
visational. Barbara told Rayburn some
of the things Crystal told her, and

Rayburn said, as if it had only now
struck him, “How kind you were to
her, though. How sweet, loving—I felt
sort of privileged, to tell the truth, be-
ing a witness.” Barbara glanced at
him, embarrassed; said, as if to dispel
his words, “You were the noble one,
cleaning that yard all morning.”

“Td like to think I could be so pa-
tient with anyone, or so kind.”

“Don’t be silly,” Barbara said.
“You're a very kind man, you’re impec-
cably kind.” She paused, and Rayburn
expected her to say, That isn’t the
problem, but, glancing down at the
book in her lap, said nothing at all.

He drove in silence. He was think-
ing of Crystal, there in the driveway,
hugging herself, shivering, speaking
of that dreary rented house of hers as
home, and something seemed to click
into place like a lock, but he couldn’t
have said what it was, or why it
seemed so inevitable. Blood rose up
into his face; a pulse began to beat
between his eyes; the words escaped
from him as if without his volition:
“But you do think of him sometimes,
don’t you? Goddamn you,” as if they’d
been calmly, even dispassionately
quarreling, and Barbara, primed for
the question, said, simply, “Never.”
And that was all, for the rest of the
drive home. a

three people, all of wi claim to be Dan Rather.

The first is the affab mewhat rigid figure the public sees each night on the CBS Evening

later admits. “It’s my nature to be friendly, but people tend to want to discuss the
issues, and if you do too much of that, y se precious time for journalism.”)

IN JENS HT that more than any other as-

BE ats signment, he desperately wants
to be the first journalist in space.

This Dan Rather is also a man devoted to his wife of
thirty-two years, the painter Jean Rather. He angrily
dismisses gossip that he is a womanizer, claiming that
such rumors are “not worth the dignity of an answer.”
He maintains that when it comes to sex, he hasn’t “the
temperament, time or ethical inclination” to seek it
outside marriage. “People who know me, who really
know me, know that I live by my word, and that
includes the vows I took on my wedding day.” He is so
fiercely protective of their privacy that he has said
little about his marriage in interviews—until now.

Unrelenting scrutiny

It’s been over a year since Dan Rather
has given an in-depth interview of any
kind, since a string of public embarrass-
ments left him “gun shy.” There was a
still-unexplained New York City mug-
ging by a man asking Rather the curi-
ous question “Kenneth, what is the fre-
quency?” There was the faux pas when
the 1987 U.S. Open ran overtime and
Rather, busy arguing with CBS Sports
about getting off the air, didn’t know
the tennis match had ended, thus forc-
ing the network to go black for six min-
utes. Then came a celebrated live inter-
view with George Bush, which grew
heated when the Vice-President remind-
ed viewers of the tennis incident. There
was even a mortifying advertisement
for “Dump Dan” bumper stickers, which
ran on the front page of The New York
Times. This was followed by another ad,
which asked, “Are you mad at Dan
Rather?” and gave readers a toll-free
number. Callers were provided with Rather’s direct
line at CBS and were told to complain about his al-
leged lack of patriotism. In this instance, at least,
Rather managed to one-up his detractors: Anyone call-
ing the office that day also got a recording—of “The
Star-Spangled Banner.”

“No, this has not been my best year,” Rather says
with a small smile and a slight Texas drawl. He’s
sitting on a leather sofa in his office, arm stretched
along the back, necktie tightly knotted, wearing sus-
penders and a long-sleeved blue shirt. It’s nine A.M.,
and he’s just arrived at the office; he will be here until
at least nine that night, as he is most days.

“I don’t like to be inaccessible, but I was very frus-
trated when so many people thought I was becoming
unglued. So few people seemed to realize that my
primary concern was for the integrity of our news
division and its broadcast, and since I wasn’t able to
convince people of that, I felt the best thing was simply

0 back off and concentrate on my work.”

Rather sips coffee, then says thoughtfully, * “Public

house, but also, because of the vast audience for TV
news, all the glass is magnifying glass. That can make
life stressful. Look at poor Jessica Savitch. She obvi-
ously needed help, and she didn’t get it. She needed
straight talk about dealing with pressure, and she
didn’t get that either. You have to have a good support
system on the job and at home, and a hide like a
rhinoceros. If you don’t develop one, you'll bleed to
death.”

An early nose for news

Rather spent years thickening his skin. Born in Whar-
ton, Texas, the son of a ditchdigger and a waitress, he
says, “I was lucky enough to have a father who was
deeply interested in the news. I’d listen, fascinated
with world events and how they were gathered and
reported and reached our homes. I also spent a lot of
time in the library. It was a joy. I was exposed to the
gospel of learning, and it gave me an unquenchable
thirst for knowledge.”

Getting into a small teachers’ college,
Rather majored in journalism, spent time
in the Marines, then went to Houston
radio station KTRH. It was there that he
met Jean, who worked as a secretary. (He
says, laughing, “With the hours I worked,
where else would I have met my future
wife?”) Shifting to television, Rather be-
came anchor of the CBS Houston affiliate,
KHOU-TV, and it was his coverage of
Hurricane Carla in 1961 that earned him
a national reputation. It also earned
Rather the attention of CBS executives,
who asked him to become a network cor-
respondent.

While covering the civil-rights move-
ment in the South, he was once beaten with
a rifle butt, and on another occasion, he
had a sawed-off shotgun pushed into his
ribs. He probably would have been killed if
a CBS employee hadn’t broken Rather’s
own rule and been carrying a gun, which
he used to force the assailant off.

He was in Dallas when President Ken-
nedy was assassinated, and it was there
that he became identified with the on-air rigidity that
still gives him some trouble. While Rather often feels
deeply about what he reports, he holds back because “if I
ever let myself go, I won’t be able to do what has to be
done.”

However, such detachment wasn’t possible in Viet-
nam, where Rather went following a stint covering
LBJ’s White House.

“My own military service was short and undistin-
guished. Nothing to compare with what I was to cover.
Here, I was under fire with the soldiers, bullets flying
four inches over my head. I was scared and confused,”
he remembers.

Rather’s next assignment was the Nixon White
House, which was a revelation of a different kind.

“T had a small rabbit hutch of an office, but I never
sat in it without a sense of awe and responsibility.” He
grins. “Sadly, not everyone in government shared my
reverence for the office. There were a few of us who
were following the Watergate story when it broke and
were told to back off. But I came to realize then, and
believe even more strongly now, that in our system, no
citizen has to face any leader on bended knee.”

As a result, Rather faced threatening calls late at

ight, people watching him from the
hadows, and even prowlers rifling
hrough his personal files. Though he
dmits having to fight fear and para-
oia, he says, “I came out of that a
auch stronger and better journalist.”

In 1975, Rather left the evening
ews beat to join 60 Minutes, the high-
y successful news-magazine show. He
elished being able to do stories in
a0re than “ninety-second bursts.”
ather’s popularity on that program
rompted the network to name him to
ucceed Walter Cronkite as the anchor
f CBS Evening News.

“It’s a good thing I love a challenge,”
e says, “because Walter is concerned
nd poised and has a wealth of inner
ategrity. To follow a man like that is
oth flattering and intimidating.” The
sported $2.5 million Rather is paid
nnually makes things easier, but he
isists that money has never been as
nportant as the quality of the work.

“Even when I was worried about
waking car or mortgage payments, I
ould spend money out-of-pocket to
et a story and get it right,” he says.
if there are two things I hate, really
ate, it’s being mediocre or being per-
2ived as mediocre.”

ll work, no play?

urrently, Rather is beginning to feel
s though “the cyclonic upheavals are
ot as distracting as they once were.”
le is happy with his work and with
is team. He’s particularly gratified
1at nearly half the producers at CBS
re women. “I’m proud of that balance,
hich is unique to CBS News.”

Indeed, if Dan Rather has a theme, a
ord to which he returns over and
ver, it’s gratitude. He is grateful to be
here he is and repeats several times
ow thankful he is that Jean was with
im from the start.

“There were times when I should or
juld have been more sensitive to
hat Jean was going through. She was
ery lonely, especially when we were
1 Washington, and the stories I did
st us friends. But Jean did whatever
eeded to be done, and she did it with
sense of humor.”

As it turns out, Rather is something
-a fanatic when it comes to family: not
ist his own—he has a daughter, Robin,
ow thirty, who works for a TV compa-
y, and a son, Dan, twenty-eight, who is
n assistant district attorney—but fam-
ies in general. He goes so far as to
2scribe “the return of the family as the
reaking story of the 1990s.

“The thing I see happening is the
Wing back to the nuclear family—
ome and hearth, kith and kin. More
nd more, the women who went into
1e workplace are having children.

And parents—which means single par-
ents as well as couples—now must cre-
ate a home and family environment.
When all is said and done, praise and
money and fame and glory and career
don’t matter as much as our children
do. As much as our families do.” He
pauses, showing just a trace of defi-
ance. “And if that gets me a reputation
as a bleeding heart, I don’t mind it.”

In those rare moments when Rather
relaxes, he reads, listens to symphonic
music and opera, takes long walks in
the woods and goes fishing.

However, he’s quick to admit that he
doesn’t do as much of any of this as he
should. “I asked Michael Dukakis

glad you asked me that. I work.’
Well—I work, too.”

Rather says he’ll never retire and
could never be anything but a news-
man—though, already the co-author of
two best-selling nonfiction books (The
Palace Guard, about the Nixon White
House, and an autobiography, The Cam-
era Never Blinks), he confides that he’s
also been thinking about writing a novel,

WINTER

HEALTH

To help your entire family stay warm and healthy this
winter, we consulted the experts at the American Academy
of Family Physicians. Here is their best advice on eating

right, staying toasty and giving winter
health worries the cold shoulder

COLD COMFORT

A guide to winter ailments

olds and flu remain the most
widespread winter ailments,
but there are many other
illnesses that strike this time
of year. Below is an alpha-
betical compendium of winter woes.

ALLERGIES

W@ Allergies to dust and housemites
(microscopic organisms that live in
dust) are often at their worst during
winter. Reason: We're indoors more,
windows are closed and dust is trapped
inside. If you develop mild, coldlike
symptoms and they don’t disappear
within a week, suspect allergies as the
source of your problem. A thorough
housecleaning and _ antihistamine
medication should bring relief.

ARTHRITIS

M Cold weather and lowered baro-
metric pressure can exacerbate ar-
thritic pain. Wearing warm cloth-
ing—especially around the affected
joints—and keeping the house extra-
warm will help.

BRONCHIALITIS

@ This viral illness, usually seen in
children under age one, is character-
ized by asthmalike coughing and
wheezing. Some-

times affected

infants are so

short of breath

that they have

trouble _ breast-

feeding or taking

a bottle. Symp-

torns usually last three or four days;
children are treated with bronchodi-
lators (the same medicine often used
to treat asthma), or both (continued)

CONTR
VITAMIN

The controversy over
whether vitamin C
helps prevent colds is
still going strong.
Although there’s no
firm scientific data to
prove there’s an
advantage to taking
the vitamin, some
experis believe it
helps. And even
doctors who remain
skeptical generally
have no objection if
patients choose to
take vitamin C. Aside
from their possibie
cold-fighting benefit,
vitamin C
supplements seem to
help curb the rise in
cholesterol levels
most people
experience in winter.

OVERSIAL

(continued) cough medicine and a va-
porizer. After one episode, children
usually develop natural immunity.

BRONCHITIS

BA swelling of the mucous mem-
branes of the lungs characterized by
a cough that produces sputum, fever
and back pain, bronchitis is a possi-
ble complication of a cold or flu virus.
Over-the-counter cough medicines
should ease symptoms, but if you
think you might have bronchitis, see
a physician to determine whether
you need antibiotic therapy.

COLDS
@ Adulis: The average adult gets
three to five colds a year—
mostly in winter, of course!
Symptoms include a runny,
stuffy nose; head congestion;
blocked or clogged ears; sneez-
ing; a sore or scratchy throat;
headache; muscle aches; and
occasionally a moderate fever.
Since colds are transmitted
from person to person, one of
the easiest ways to prevent
them is to wash your hands
frequently. Use a humidifier
in your home and office, too; dry mu-
cous membranes in the nose and
throat are less effective at fighting
off cold viruses.
@ Although there’s still no cure for
the common cold, experts recommend
bed rest, plenty of fluids, and over-
the-counter decongestants and pain-
killers such as acetaminophen, ibu-
profen or aspirin to relieve symptoms
until the body heals itself. Recovery
usually occurs within a week. If the
cold lasts longer, or if fever rises
higher than 101°F., consult your doc-
tor to rule out a sinus infection, bron-
chitis or pneumonia.
@ Children: The average child gets
several more colds each year than
Mom and Dad do. For one thing, kids
haven’t been exposed to as many vi-
uses as grownups have, so they
n’t developed the same level of
ity. Also, kids are notorious
f -aders, since they’re less apt
than ad to wash their hands often
r to cover their mouths when they
cough or sneeze
= The recommended treatment for
lildren’s colds is the same as for
ts (but see the entry for Reye’s
rome). Kids’ symptoms may last
hat longer, however. Infants
and toddlers can take up to two weeks

to get over a cold; children aged four to
eight may cough, sneeze and blow
their noses for at least a week.

COLD SORES

M@ Caused by a herpes virus—usually
not the same one that causes genital
herpes—cold sores often pop up when
you have a cold or fever. They may
also appear as a result of unaccus-
tomed sun exposure—while skiing or
during a mid-winter vacation, for ex-
ample. Using sunblock on the lips
when outdoors will help prevent blis-
ters. If they emerge anyway, over-
the-counter lip balms may help. Or
ask your physician about the pre-
scription medication acyclovir, which
can speed healing and even help pre-
vent further outbreaks.

CROUP

@ In most cases, croup—a viral illness
that usually affects young children be-
tween the ages of three months and
three years—is relatively benign.
Symptoms include a dry, hacking
cough, fever and a condition called
stridor—an abnormal, high-pitched,
musical breathing sound on inhalation
that’s due to a swollen larynx. Most of
the time, cough medicine and a vapor-
izer will ease the symptoms.

@ There is a much less common type
of croup caused by the H. influenza
bacteria, which can cause epiglotti-
tis—inflammation of the epiglottis,
the cartilagelike structure that pre-
vents food from entering the wind-
pipe when swallowing. Symptoms in-
clude a swollen epiglottis, fever, sore
throat, harsh breathing sounds and a
croupy cough. The H. influenza vac-
cine can prevent H. flu epiglottitis.
Ask your doctor about having your
children vaccinated.

DRY SKIN, CHAPPED LIPS

@ Ordinary dry skin can be prevent-
ed and treated with moisturizers, lip
balms, bath oils and using a room
humidifier. Drinking lots of water
may help, too, since dry skin may be
partly due to internal dehydration.
Don’t wear wool right next to your
skin—it absorbs natural body oils.

W@ If your dry skin doesn’t respond to
simple remedies, you may have a
more serious condition such as ecze-
ma, seborrhea or psoriasis—all of
which tend to flare up during the
winter months. Over-the-counter
cortisone cream or lotion should be
helpful. Or consult a (continued)

ALCOHOL: THE
GREAT DECEIVER

A nip of brandy ona
cold day may make
you feel warmer, but
feelings can be
deceptive: Alcohol
actually makes the
body colder. Alcohol
causes tiny blood
vessels near the
skin’s surface to open
up, creating a
sensation of warmth.
In fact, however,
alcoho! causes body
temperature to drop.
In addition, aicohol
may make you sweat,
and evaporating
moisture causes heat
loss. Have a cup of
hot cocoa or soup if
you crave a quick
warmer-upper!

(continued) physician for definitive
diagnosis and treatment.

EAR INFECTIONS

Mi In children, 2 common complica-
tion of colds or flu is a middle-ear
infection called otitis media, the most
common bacterial illness in children
under age three. Very young children
will often indicate their problem by
pulling on their ear and whimpering.
Pain often worsens at night, when
the child’s head is resting on one
side. The condition is treated by phy-
sicians with antibiotics. In children
who have chronic or recurrent ear
infections, doctors will sometimes
recommend that a drainage tube be
placed in the ear to prevent future
infections.

FLU

Wi With winter comes the flu—a highly
contagious viral infection. Flu symp-
toms may vary because viruses with
different characteristics can be respon-
sible for the epidemics each year. But
the basic signs remain the same—tre-
mendous tiredness, weakness or dizzi-
ness, and total malaise, possibly accom-
panied by sore throat, cough, fever, an
upset stomach or diarrhea.

@ Though most adults feel much sick-
er when they have the flu than when
they have a cold, treatment is the
same: fluids, bed rest, over-the-counter
painkillers, decongestants and cough
medicines. If the flu seems to be get-
ting better but then the fever rises
again, a complication such as sinusitis,
bronchitis or pneumonia may be re-
sponsible. Then it’s time to see a phy-
sician, who may prescribe antibiotics.

FROSTBITE

@ Frostbite—frozen skin and tis-
sue—can easily be prevented by
wearing warm, protective clothing.
It’s important to note that frostbite
doesn’t occur only in subzero tem-
peratures; if there’s a strong wind or
1 lot of dampness, you can get frost-
bite when the temperature hits 20°F.
r even 30°F.

ildren who are reluctant to wear
ats and mittens are at special risk for

—

frostbite, as are joggers, who may feel
so warm while exercising that they
don’t protect their hands or faces. Oth-
ers at risk include the elderly, people

taking beta-blocker drugs (which de-
crease blood flow to the skin), and
those with atherosclerosis or systemic
disorders like diabetes.

i Frostbitten skin is hard, pale, cold
and numb. As it starts to thaw, skin
becomes red and painful. To treat
frostbite, get the affected person in-
doors as soon as possible; warm the
affected body part gently by covering
it with blankets or immersing it in
warm—not hot—water. Never rub
snow on a frostbitten body part, de-
spite the old adage. Medical atten-
tion should be sought as soon as pos-
sible to prevent gangrene.

HEART TROUBLE

@ Heart attacks and angina—cramp-
ing chest pain—are more common in
the winter months, when the heart
must pump harder to keep the body
warm. In addition, when the body is
cold, coronary blood vessels constrict,
diminishing blood supply to the heart
muscle. Therefore, if a person al-
ready has some degree of heart dis-
ease, being out in cold weather can
make it worse.

MM Elderly people and anyone who is
unaccustomed to physical activity or
who has existing heart problems
should certainly avoid overexertion
in winter. The classic scenario of the
middle-aged, overweight, sedentary
man having a heart attack as he
shovels his driveway often occurs,
say experts, so those at risk should
definitely find someone else to do the
shoveling for them. To minimize in-
halation of extremely cold air, it’s
smart to wrap a warm scarf around
the face.

HYPOTHERMIA

@ Hypothermia is a dangerous low-
ering of the body’s internal tempera-
ture. Anyone can develop hypother-
mia if she is in an extremely cold
environment and isn’t properly
dressed, or becomes accidentally im-
mersed in cold water (while boating
or fishing, for example).

Mi People with hypothermia may be
found unconscious, or they may be
shivering violently and talking inco-
herently. They should be taken to an
emergency room as soon as possible
and warmed slowly. If hypothermia
is not promptly treated, it can lead to
serious problems and even death.

LARYNGITIS

Mf Since laryngitis is often caused by
the same virus that gives kids croup,
adults who spend a lot of time with
children are most likely to get the
disease. Laryngitis— (continued)

unaware that
prescription
medications can affect
your ability to stand
cold weather. Drugs
for blood pressure,
circulation problems
and angina, as well as
those taken to prevent
strokes or coronaries,
may cause blood

(continued) inflammation of the vocal
cords and the mucous membrane lin-
ing the larynx—causes hoarseness or
temporary voice loss. Giving the
voice a rest and taking cough sup-
pressants are the only treatments,
but the problem usually abates with-
in a few days.

ORTHOPEDIC INJURIES
(BROKEN BONES)

@ The most frequent injuries are bro-
ken ankles—from falls on _ icy
streets—and knee injuries suffered
by skiers. But it’s the elderly who
have the most to fear from winter
falls, since their thinner or more brit-
tle bones break more easily.

@ Elderly people—who are at special
risk for hip fractures—should have
someone else remove snow and ice
around their homes, and make cer-
tain sidewalks and streets are clear
before venturing out. In icy weather,
it’s smart to accept assistance when
walking outdoors.

M@ To prevent injuries, respect your
limits as an athlete, keep walkways
around your home free of snow and
ice, and wear shoes with treads to
better grasp slippery surfaces. Also
check your shoes and boots periodi-
cally for worn soles and heels.

RAYNAUD'S DISEASE
@ Raynaud’s disease is a circulatory
disorder in which blood flow to the
fingers, toes, ears and nose is sporad-
ically interrupted. The hands or feet
first turn white, then a dusky blue.
As they recover, they become bright
red and may feel tingly and numb, or
painful. Eventually, prolonged poor
blood supply can weaken the fingers
and diminish the sense of touch.
@ In winter, people with Raynaud’s
should take precautions such as
wearing warm, loose-fitting gloves
and socks and avoiding stress—
which can bring on symptoms—and
smoking, which can further impair
‘irculation. In more severe cases,
atment may require the use of
'd tranquilizers, blood-vessel-wid-

ning drugs or even surgery.

REYE’S SYNDROME

@ This i very serious childhood
complication of a viral infection, usu-
ally flu-or chicken pox. The cause is
still unknown, but symptoms include
vomiting, drowsiness, loss of con-
sciousness and convulsions. Early rec-
ognition and treatment is essential,

since Reye’s syndrome can be fatal.

M@ Research has linked Reye’s syn-
drome to the use of aspirin to treat
common childhood viruses. For this
reason, physicians recommend that
children be treated with acetamino-
phen when any kind of viral disorder
is suspected.

SINUSITIS

@ Sinusitis is another fairly common
complication of a cold or flu. If a cold
or flu lingers longer than three or
four days without any improvement
and you develop pain under or
around the eyes, or a thick, discol-
ored nasal discharge and fever, you
may have a sinus infection. A doctor
will prescribe antibiotics.

SORE THROATS (INCLUDING STREP)

M@ Most sore throats are caused by
viruses, and the illnesses they cause
are usually fairly mild; a scratchy
throat is the predominant symptom.
Over-the-counter lozenges can help
relieve symptoms.

i However, if a sore throat is accom-
panied by fever, headache, muscle
aches and pains, swollen glands,
white patches or coating on the
tongue, suspect a bacterial infection
such as strep. A throat culture will
help make the diagnosis, and antibi-
otics can clear up the infection.

Mi Scarlet fever, which used to be a
much-feared complication of strep, is
no longer a serious threat to chil-
dren’s health—as long as it is accu-
rately diagnosed. When treated with
penicillin, in fact, it is no more dan-
gerous than ordinary strep throat.

STOMACH FLU
(GASTROENTERITIS)

@ Viruses causing nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea have been dubbed stom-
ach flu. Like ordinary flu, stomach
flu is passed from one person to the
next. Unlike other flus, though,
stomach bugs rarely last longer than
forty-eight hours. Treatment usually
means eating lightly and simply
waiting a day or two until discomfort
passes.

Mi Complications may occur in small
children or elderly patients, however,
since they are at greater risk for be-
coming dehydrated. If a small child
or elderly person can’t replenish flu-
ids orally, a physician should be con-
sulted. These patients may need to be
hospitalized and put on intravenous
fluids until the virus passes.

Fighting back against winter discontent

HE DAYS GET SHORTER, AND FOR MANY PEOPLE, MOODS GET BLEAKER.
HERE’S A LOOK AT WHETHER THE PROBLEM IS A SIMPLE CASE OF THE

WINTER DOLDRUMS OR A MORE SERIOUS SEASONAL DEPRESSION

CABIN FEVER

Women who stay home with children—especially
mothers caring for their first baby—will often ex-
perience so-called cabin fever. If you’re home with
young children, consult your physician to learn
how to dress them for even the coldest weather so
you can continue to go
outside on excursions to-
gether. Also, you should
try to find a baby-sitter
to watch your children
for short periods of time.
Getting out of the house
by yourself for an hour
or so can help alleviate
cabin fever.

The elderly may also
feel shut in. To main-
tain good spirits, they,
too, should make an ef-
fort to get out of the
house, even if that means simply playing cards
with friends in the same apartment building or
doing fitness walking at a shopping mall as a way
to meet new people and stay in shape.

SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER (SAD)

This is a special kind of winter depression linked
to the amount of light a person is exposed to. For
reasons not yet clear, SAD affects women more
often than men.

In affected individuals, winter’s relative lack of
bright sunlight causes chemical changes that may
lead to depression. In some people, the pineal gland, a
cone-shaped structure in the brain, responds to insuf-
ficient light by overproducing melatonin, a hormone
that experts say brings on symptoms of SAD—fa-
tigue, overeating, decreased sex drive, difficulties
with concentration. SAD is distinguished from clini-
cal depression by its seasonal nature—appearing
with the onset of winter and abating in spring.

To treat SAD, most doctors concentrate on increas-
ing the amount of light exposure patients receive.
People with SAD often feel better if they take long
walks at midday. In the office, powerful high-intensi-
ty lights or special full-spectrum fluorescent lights
also appear to help.

Some doctors are also treating SAD with atena-
lol, a drug that stops melatonin production: One
third to one half of SAD patients get better when
they use this medicine seasonally, once a day.

KEEPING WARM An antifreeze guide

hy do women often feel colder than men? For one

thing, women generally eat less than men, which

means they have less fuel to turn into heat, and they
tend to dress more lightly. What's more, women—especially
those of reproductive age—have fewer body stores of iron,
d-risk factor. However, there's plenty you can do to

Recent studies indicate th :ople who are iron-
deficient may feel the cold n cutely than oth-
ers. Menstruating women, especially, may benefit
from supplementing their i »s. Most women
are iron-deficient to some degre specially those
who attempt to control their c erol levels by

eating less meat

COLD-WEATHER CLOTHES
Dressing smart in winter means wearing lots of

loose layers that trap warm air and allow you to

add or subtract clothing as needed. The best cold-
weather fabrics are either natural materials—cot-
ton, silk, wool—or light thermal synthetics such
as Goretex and Thinsulate. Avoid clothes with
tight ankle and wrist cuffs, since they can restrict
circulation to the extremities. To keep hands
warm, choose mittens over gloves. Mittens expose
less surface area to the cold and allow warm air to
circulate inside them. And remember that essen-
tial winter wardrobe item: a hat. It’s true that 50
percent of body heat can escape through the head.

STAY ACTIVE

Since physical activity generates heat, chopping
wood in the yard, cross-country skiing or just tak-
ing a brisk walk will probably keep you warmer
than sitting in front of the TV. And while out-
doors, make every effort to avoid long periods of
sitting or standing when your clothes are wet,
since the combination of low temperature and
dampness is a risk factor for hypothermia.

PNEUMONIA

everything you must know

Pneumonia doesn't strike only the over-
sixty set; despite medical advances
made against the disease, it remains a

threat to people of all ages

velyn’s pneumonia developed in the

wake of a forty-eight-hour flu and made

her sicker than she’d ever been in her

life. Her fever soared, she coughed until

she choked, and every breath sent a jab-
bing pain through her chest.

Although she knew something was serious-
ly wrong, she was shocked when her doctor
diagnosed her disease. “I'd always thought
pneumonia was like a heavy cold,” she says.
“It surprised me how devastating it was.”

Her comment reveals how quickly we forget
a potential threat. Who thinks about pneumo-
nia anymore? Yet one should: Despite the
many medical tools to fight it, pneumonia per-
sists. Provisional data for 1987 ranks pneu-
monia and influenza combined as a grim sixth
among American fatalities—high, considering
the army of antibiotics and other treatments
now available. In 1986—the latest year for
which statistics are available—twenty-eight
of every hundred thousand deaths were
caused by pneumonia, according to the Na-
tional Center for Health Statistics.

One thing many people don’t realize is that
pneumonia isn’t just one disease; rather, it’s a
description of symptoms. “Any inflammation
of the lungs is pneumonia,” says Steven R.

tostow, M.D., chairman of the Prevention of
Influenza and Pneumonia Committee of the
American Thoracic Society

Moreover, lung inflammation has more
than thirty causes. It can occur as a result of
damage to the lungs; for example, lung-cancer
patients who receive radiotherapy may devel-

) radiation pneumonia. Pneumonia may also

an allergic reaction; pigeon breeders and
rriers can develop pneumonia as a result of

heavy exposure to the substances they work
with.

But most pneumonias are caused by bacte-
ria, viruses or mycoplasma (organisms that
are neither bacteria nor viruses but have
characteristics of both). “Pneumonia-causing
germs are all around us,” says Frederick L.
Ruben, M.D., professor of medicine at the
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
Many of them, he says, live in our throats;
others are airborne, and we inhale them when
we breathe.

IT TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY

Unlike a cold or flu, pneumonia impedes our
ability to breathe. Our lungs are made up of a
vast web of some three hundred million tiny
air sacs called alveoli (pronounced al-VEE-
uh-li), which inflate inde-
pendently when they fill
with air. When a person
has pneumonia, the alveoli
fill with pus. If the infec-
tion isn’t stopped, the
lungs may fill up entirely,
becoming awash in fluid.
Because of this, death from pneumonia is like
drowning.

In people whose immune systems are intact,
however, pneumonia is rarely fatal. Pneumo-
nia may develop in healthy people whose im-
mune systems are temporarily weakened by
flu. People whose immune systems are chroni-
cally weakened—such as heavy smokers—are
generally more vulnerable to all respiratory
infections, including pneumonia.

Another group of people who are suscepti-
ble to pneumonia includes those (continued)

health

There are
many kinds of
pneumonia,
and they can all
make you feel
dreadful. But
every case—no
matter how
mild—should
be monitored
by a doctor.

(continued) whose immune systems
have been debilitated by chronic dis-
eases like diabetes, sickle-cell ane-
mia, heart disease, asthma, bronchi-
tis and emphysema. People with
AIDS or cancer, surgical patients and
individuals undergoing organ trans-
plants also fall into this category.
And everyone’s immune system
weakens somewhat with age.

The fact that most of us are able to
avoid contracting pneumonia most of
the time is due to the body’s extreme-
ly efficient defense system.

Our first line of defense is simple
and direct: We cough, thereby expel-
ling such unwanted debris as dust
and pneumonia-causing germs.

Some germs, of course, are swal-
lowed. Many are killed by the thin
layer of acidic mucus that lines the
upper respiratory tract; others die la-
ter, after coming into contact with
stomach acids.

If these germs are not coughed out
or killed, you may get sick.

Let’s say someone sneezes near
your face and the virus wafts into
your nose. If you haven’t been ex-
posed to that particular virus and
thus have no antibodies to protect
you from it, it may attach itself to a
cell in your upper respiratory tract.
There, the virus can grow unimped-
ed, stripping away protective cilia—
tiny, hairlike projections lining your
upper respiratory tract.

WHITE CELLS TO THE RESCUE

If the body’s initial defense strategies
fail, a pneumonia-causing germ may
manage to attach itself to a cell in-
side the lung. At this point, you’ve
got pneumonia. There, the germs
proliferate, attacking your body and
bringing on nasty symptoms. While
you probably feel dreadful, your
body’s white blood cells are getting
ready to counterattack.

The first white blood cells to arrive
in the lungs are called macrophages.
“They look things over and decide the
next step,” says Mostow. If the invad-
ing germ is a virus, the macrophages
summon other white blood cells
called monocytes, which snuff the vi-
rus out. If the invader is a bacterium,
the macrophages summon cells called
phagocytes, which eat the bacterium,
thereby killing it off.

If all goes well, the pneumonia pa-
tient soon starts to feel better. The
young and vigorous may bounce back
within a week; as we get older, how-
ever, it can take six weeks or more
to recover completely.

THE MANY FACES OF PNEUMONIA

Doctors make a distinction between
community-acquired and hospital-ac-

quired pneumonias. Community-ac-
quired pneumonias are contagious
and may run through schools, offices,
even entire neighborhoods. They can
be mild or severe.

Hospital-acquired pneumonias
take advantage of people whose im-
mune systems are temporarily or
chronically weakened. And as their
name suggests, these pneumonias
will most often strike hospital and
nursing-home patients. Healthy peo-
ple cannot catch hospital-acquired
pneumonias.

Common forms of the disease are
described below:

|. VIRAL PNEUMONIA

There are many pneumonia-causing
viruses, and about half of all pneu-
monias are viral, according to the
American Lung Association.

Viral pneumonias—which usually
hit hardest in winter—are communi-
ty-acquired and follow a bout of flu.
Some are self-limiting, which means
that like the common cold, they run
their course. Others, however, can be
severe, even fatal.

Viral pneumonia usually strikes
the very young and the elderly and
people with chronic respiratory or
heart problems.

Symptoms include: headache, achi-
ness, high fever and a dry cough.
Within twelve to thirty-six hours,
sufferers may experience shortness of
breath, a chest rattle, wheezing, blu-
ish lips and a cough that produces
bloody sputum.

Treatment: Bed rest is the primary
treatment for viral pneumonia. Vi-
ruses can damage lung tissues, mak-
ing them vulnerable to bacterial in-
fection. If bacterial infection occurs,
antibiotics may be prescribed as part
of the treatment. Vaccines are recom-
mended for those vulnerable to flu
infection.

2. BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA

Although it can strike at any age,
bacterial pneumonia, which is also
community-acquired, is especially
common in the middle and later
years, as the body’s defenses begin to
weaken. Often developing in the
wake of an upper-respiratory in-
fection, bacterial pneumonia tends
to strike during the cold-weather
months.

There are a number of bacterial
pneumonias. They include:
© Pneumococcal pneumonia The most com-
mon bacterial pneumonia, it is also
referred to as lobar pneumonia, be-
cause it usually involves one or more
of the five segments—or lobes—of
the lungs. Despite treatment, the
mortality rate for (continued)

umococcal pneumonia is between 5
| 7 percent—at least twenty-five
usand deaths annually.

ymptoms include: chills, high fe-
_ chest pain, fatigue, shortness of
ath, a bluish cast to lips and nails
to a lack of oxygen, and rust- or
en-tinged sputum. Nausea, vomit-
and diarrhea may also be present.
'reatment: Treatment with antibiot-
is essential. Senior citizens and
ple-with chronic conditions such as

2s and sickle cell anemia should be
cinated against pneumococcal

reatment: Antibiotics.

umonia is common among heavy
ykers and drinkers. That’s because
ke damages cilia in the respiratory

ymptoms include: low-grade fever,
rtness of breath, rapid heartbeat,

bluish lips, a rattle in the chest and a
cough that produces greenish, foul-
smelling sputum.

Treatment: Antibiotics.

3. MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIA

Sometimes called walking pneumonia,
because patients may not feel sick
enough to stay in bed, mycoplasma
pneumonia is the most common com-
munity-acquired pneumonia among
healthy young adults. Reason: Most of
us have either had it or been exposed
to it and developed antibodies against
it by age thirty-five. It is caused by
microscopic organisms called Myco-
plasma pneumoniae and is highly con-
tagious. Often, an X-ray is needed to
make a positive diagnosis.

Symptoms include: a dry, hacking
cough, headache, chills, muscle aches,
fatigue and fever. Symptoms generally
appear between nine and twelve days
after infection sets in.

Treatment: Antibiotics, bed rest, a
high-protein diet and plenty of fluids.

4, OTHER PNEUMONIAS

© Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (P. carinii).
One of the hospital-acquired pneu-
monias, P. carinii is a highly destruc-
tive parasite, though it afflicts only
those whose immune systems are se-
verely impaired.

P. carinii is a major killer of AIDS
patients, whose immune systems are
failing. Of the more than seventy-five
thousand diagnosed AIDS patients,
more than forty-one thousand (greater
than 60 percent) have had P. carinii,
according to Peter Drotman, M.D., med-
ical epidemiologist with the AIDS pro-
gram at the Centers for Disease Control
in Atlanta. Other groups that tend to
develop P. carinii include cancer pa-
tients undergoing chemotherapy and ra-
diation therapy and organ-transplant
patients, all of whom are customarily
treated with medication that suppresses
their immune defenses.

Treatment: Antibiotics.

SURVIVING FLU SEASON

As with any disease, the best way to
deal with pneumonia is to prevent it in
the first place. One way, particularly
during winter, is to prevent flu, which
often precedes pneumonia. “We're not
doing enough about influenza,” says
Frederick Ruben. “In severe winters,
some seventy thousand people die of
the flu alone or of flu and pneumonia.”

The flu vaccine immunizes people by
introducing dead disease germs into
their systems so they form antibodies
to protect themselves. At present, fif-
teen million to twenty million Ameri-
cans get flu vaccines each (continued)

vaccinated to protect her older house-
mate from infection.

There is a vaccine for pneumococcal
as well as viral pneumonia. Unlike flu
shots, which must be administered
each year, the pneumococcal vaccine is
given just once in a lifetime. If you’ve
never had it, says Ruben, ask your doc-
tor about getting it in conjunction with
a flu shot.

Ruben notes that an effective treat-
ment for influenza A—which accounts
for 90 percent of all cases of fiu in the
U.S.—is a drug called amantadine. It
alleviates flu symptoms if given in the
first forty-eight to seventy-two hours
after onset; in addition, it can help re-
duce the spread of flu and subsequent-
ly of pneumonia.

Finally, maintain overall health by
not smoking, eating a balanced diet,

quate rest.

Big leagues vs.the minors

| am considering two job offers—one
is with a small business; the other
with a big prestige company. |

children, and the big company seems
frightening to me. How do | choose?

It depends on your job goals. If you'll be happy
working permanently for small organizations,
then choose small. However, if you hope to move
to a large prestige employer, grab your chance.

When you’re at an important organization, it’s relatively
easy to move to a smaller one. Employers at small companies
usually are impressed by what they think you've learned in
the large business, and they're eager to hire you.

But if your experience is ‘small time,’ you may have
problems. Large companies often discount the value of your
knowledge and seek employees who have gained training
ina big organization.

That doesn’t mean that if someone is already working at a
small business, she should abandon her ideas of making a
transition to a major employer. Many people do manage it.
However, it’s harder to go from small to large. So whenever
you have the choice, seize the big-name offer. Even if it
doesn’t work out, once you have major-league background on
your resumé, it will be a help whenever you change jobs.

GOOD NEWS jor women

IS THE BOSS A WOMAN? IT’S OKAY Only a few years
ago, there was strong resistance toward women supervisors.
Now a new national survey conducted by Adia Personnel
Services reveals that the vast majority of people—both men
and women—no longer care whether the boss is a male or a
female. Nearly three people out of four said the boss's sex
doesn’t matter. At this rate, we'll soon be approaching

acceptance of women in the upper corporate echelons.

MOVING UP IN THE RANKS More and more women are
getting the promotions they deserve, according to a U.S.
Department of Labor survey. These days almost two out of
five—38 percent—of U.S. executives, managers and adminis-
trators are women. And the percentage is continuing to grow,
says Shirley Dennis, director of the Department of Labor's

Women’s Bureau.

Good Ideas, no success.

I never have luck getting
ideas approved at
meetings. They’re turned
down before | really have
a chance to explain them.
How can I! do better?

A meeting is not the place to try to
introduce, explain and convince
colleagues about important new
ideas. You do that beforehand by lobbying
others with your plan on a one-to-one basis,
soliciting their responses. Hearing others’
objections first can help you adjust your
proposal; advance approval makes your listener
a partner. Then at the meeting you can present
the plan as “our” idea, and that moves you a
long way toward group acceptance. Other tips:
Though people usually say they want new ideas,
they are sometimes hesitant to hear them. tt is
easier to persuade others by stressing how your
idea resembles past successful ones. Also,
perhaps you need to work on your presentation
skills. Be sure your speaking style is concise
enough to get your point across effectively.

From their very first meeting,
through their turbulent
marnages, Elizabeth Taylor
zenited in Richard Burton an
obsession no one else could ever
match. Throughout that time,
Burton wrote a personal
journal expressing has
most intimate thoughts
and feelings. After his
death, has last wife, Sally
Burton, permitted i.
biographer Melvyn Bragg to
publish the diaries. Here, m
his own words, a powerful stor
of aman’ love for a woman.

ight years before their famous mee
ing on the set of " Cleopatra,’ Burton
spotted Liz Taylor briefly. :

had finished a well-received and hu-
morous story and found that she was

America’s greatest and most controversial
star. Fresh from (continued on page 145)

Pictoral Parade

Meet the winners of our competi-

tion: five women whose lives you’!

be following for the next ten years

The five Journal
readers who will be
making their voices
heard over the next
ten years; from
left, Molly, Pau-
lette, Dana, Diane

and Anne

t isn’t often that
we can look
inside other
women’s lives and
find out what’s
really going on
behind closed doors.
But now, the Journal is
giving the five special
women shown here the
opportunity to share
with us, in annual
interviews, their
challenges, triumphs,

setbacks and sorrows
over the next ten years.
This innovative oral-
history project is called
“Voices of the
Decade,” and the
interviews that LHJ
conducts will be placed
in the Schlesinger
Library of Radcliffe
College as a resource
for scholars. We'll also
report on these women
each year in our
January issue.
‘“Voices’’ may be the
best record of women’s
lives during the 1990s.
Choosing the
participants for such a
significant project
wasn’t easy. How did
we do it? Last June, we
asked readers who
wanted to be
interviewed each year
to write an essay about
themselves. More than
two thousand of you
responded. We wish
we could have
published every story;
in fact, it was so
difficult to choose that
we decided to name
five winners instead of
four, as we (continued)

Fae

(continued) originally
intended. Our “Voices”
winners are:

Dana Crone, who was

raised in the suburbs and
thought that a farmer was

the last person she
would marry. But she
did, and now she
wouldn't want to live
anywhere but the
country. Molly
Minnick, a social
worker, author and
mother. She still finds

time to relax, though—by
going ona daily jog at six

A.M. Paulette Polley, a
business instructor and
doctoral candidate. (He:

husband, a physician, help:
her unwind by giving her c

massage before exams!)
Anne Weatherill, married

to an airline pilot who
fought in Vietnam. They
have two daughters—and a
marauding cat named Josh.
Diane Perron Winschel, a
divorced mother, who began
her career in 1978 as a
junior accountant. Today,
she designs computer
systems for the Defense
Department.

As you can see, our
winners come from very
different backgrounds. But
all are articulate and
successful, and in many
ways all are typical of
Journal readers. Here, in
excerpts from their essays,
they talk about their lives.

Dana Crone, 29
Eminence, Indiana

My husband, Jack, and I live on a farm
way out in the country, in the house
that once belonged to his great-grand-
father. Although I didn’t grow up in
the country, farming is in my blood
now. I see Jack planting the corn, and
I share his fulfillment, knowing that
we are part of this earth. But we never
know if there will be a good harvest.
This year we suffered from the
drought, and we lived on the money
from my part-time job as a hair-
dresser and Jack’s
government job check-
ing on crop levels.

In my life B.C. (Be-
fore Children), my
goal was to be a fa-
mous hairdresser. But
this is no longer im-
portant to me. As I
watch the kids—Mol-
ly, seven, Ty, five, and
Casey, one—grow up,
I realize that I have
indeed made my place
in the world.

I don’t know what
the next ten years
will bring. I'd like to

Dana and Jack be more secure finan-

| with Ty, cially and maybe

| Molly and have a_ hairdressing

| baby Casey shop. But most of all

| (the family’s I hope the good Lord

| youngest allows us to remain
farmer) farmers.

Anne Weatherill, 43
Clarkston, Washington

Getting married was the easy part. It’s
stalking the elusive happily-ever-after
that’s kept me on my toes.

I’m one of the first of the so-called
baby boomers. Many people my age
rejected war for peace, marriage for co-
habitation and motherhood for career.
Yet I and many other women chose the
conventional path.

Now a mother of two daughters

(Maryanne, twenty, and Christine, fif-

teen), I’ve been challenged intellec-
tually by their curiosity and physically
by their energy. I’m thankful to the
women who hammered at prejudice
and opened oppor-
tunities for my &
girls that I would ?
not have dreamed #/¥
of for myself. I ‘

hope I’m sending
into the world two
young ladies with
compassion, com-
mon sense and self-
esteem.

Motherhood was
my first career
choice, but like
most women I’ve
found that a job
outside the home is
an economic neces- he’s on the
sity. Now I’m ground
working on the campus of a local col-
lege, helping foreign students find
housing, and I do editorial work for a
nearby newspaper. But I still depend
on my husband, Jim, who’s an airline
pilot, and being a heartbeat away from
poverty bothers me.

I don’t attend church, but faith plays
an important part in my life. I take
comfort in the belief that God will sort
things out in the end. And my own
legacy? It won’t be a clean house. I’d
settle for a clean soul and the hope
that I’ve done more good than harm.

Jim, an airline
pilot, likes
barbecuing for
his family when

Diane Perron Winschel, 30
Herndon, Virginia

Divorced. Single mother. Those two
statements describe my least success-
ful attempt at discovering who I am,
and my greatest success.

Born July 29, 1958, I’m the oldest of
six children. We 3
had a middle-class
upbringing in a
small community
north of Boston.
In 1978, I graduated
with an associate’s
degree in business,
and two years later
my career took
me to Phoenix, Ar-
izona. There I met
and married my
husband, in 1982.

For me, the most
striking __realiza-
tion about married
life was that you
couldn’t come close
to having it all.
But my husband
didn’t understand
why I couldn’t help him with the eco-
nomic burden and still have his din-
ner ready when he walked through
the door at night.

I was infertile, but the tension be-
tween us probably made it easier for
me to accept that. Then by some quirk
of fate I managed to get pregnant,
and I gave birth to my son, Sean,
who’s now three. Afterward, I fi-
nally decided to end my marriage.

In the meantime, my success at
work did a lot for my self-esteem.
I went to school at night and gota
degree in computer science, then
became a programmer and even-
tually a consultant, moving to
Washington three years ago. To-
day, I earn seven times as much
as I did when I began working
full-time in 1978.

In the next ten years, I want to ei-
ther move into upper management or
become a full-time writer, I also hope
that Sean and I will find someone with
whom we can establish a loving, stable
home—our refuge against the world.

We don’t know what the year will bring for
our Voices of the Decade, but we—and
you—will find out next January. Will Dana
and her husband have a better harvest? Will
Diane be closer to becoming a full-time
writer? We hope that in following these
women’s lives, and in seeing the similarities
with your own, you'll feel as if your voice,
too, is being heard.

Top gossip columnist

Liz Smith gives you the real
lowdown on your favorite
celebrities. By Cliff Jahr

he spends her nights with the rich-
est, most famous and most power-
ful people in America, and she
spends her days writing about
what she’s seen at their parties
and dinners. She’s got fifty million
readers who eagerly scan her col-
umn for mentions of their favorite
celebrities, and she’s almost as well
known—and influential—in Hollywood
and New York as many of the people
she writes about.

But, | ask Liz Smith, what's it really
like to be America’s number-one gossip
columnist?

“Honey, it’s like walking a tightrope,”
she says genially, her folksy Texas
twang still evident after almost four de-
cades in New York City. “If you dis-
agree, in print, with anyone, they go
nuts and try to kill you! Why do people
get so inflamed about being mentioned
in a mere gossip column?” Liz laughs.

This evening is a typical one for Liz.

Jackie O.
“She proved
that if you do
something
really vulgar
to get a lot of
money, but
don't do anything
really vulgar
with it, you
can enter the
establishment.”

She’s just left a party given by her tycoon pal Malcolm
Forbes, on Rockefeller Center’s sixty-fifth floor. Now she’s
sitting in the choice booth of a Broadway steak house, in the
watchful way of a mother hen, keeping her eye on its well-
known customers. Dressed in white linen, Liz looks like the

media star she is: china-blue eyes, a

“Gossip is a great medium of power and exchange,” she
adds, “but of course it can also shame people. | could use a
lot more of the stuff | get, but | don’t want to write terrible things

Surprisingly, Liz draws criticism for being too nice, and de-
tractors sneered when she recently sent good wishes in print to
a wedding couple, knowing that the world-famous groom is
discreetly gay. ‘What should | do, accuse him?” Liz rejoins.
“Besides, | don’t think being gay is a bad thing.”

She sighs. “Frankly, | have no firm lines to draw about
behavior. When people say I’m either too nice or a bitch, the
truth is that I’m really just trying to be interesting.”

She doesn’t have to try hard. During dinner, Liz offers her
opinion on everyone from David Letterman (‘one of the major
sadists of our time—l’d rather face a firing squad than go on
that show”) to movie stars in general (“they don’t really care

about you, though they might try to take you to bed”).

Liz’s energy went into social life. “| partied those years away,”
she recalls, “dancing, drinking, and having fun with my overac-
tive hormones. | worked hard, but somehow | always screwed
up and got fired.”

Things fell into place for Liz in 1974, when she started
therapy with a Manhattan psychiatrist. “A fabulous mother
type,” Liz notes. “She asked me, ‘Why don’t you believe you
deserve success? You’re a good person, fun, sweet, talented.
You’re just standing in your own way.’

“It finally clicked,” Liz remembers. “| decided to put my own
name on my work—nothing anonymous anymore.” Sure
enough, when the New York Daily News created a gossip
column in 1976, they hired this self-confident new Liz. Her
horse sense and good-ol’-gal style met with overnight acclaim.

These days, from the high-rise midtown apartment that she
shares with two dachshunds, Liz commands a sublime view in
her pursuit of trends and trivia. Her day begins with eight A.M.
coffee as she skims six daily newspapers and scrounges
around for notes she made while on the town the night before.
By nine A.M., her two assistants arrive to take over five phone
lines and open stacks of mail. And by one P.M., having typed
the column, she writes the script for her thrice-weekly appear-
ance on NBC’s local news program, Live at Five.

“You may laugh,” Liz says, shrugging, “but | am not a
gossip. | go to lunches where people say terrible things about
their best friends, and inside | yawn. | like real stories. The
other day Barbara Walters told me she heard George Bush say
to Jesse Jackson in private, ‘Wouldn’t you like to be on my
ticket?,’ and Jackson replied, without skipping a beat, ‘Well,
George, you're already so used to being Vice-President that
that would be wonderful for me.’

“Now that's witty, revealing, not
back-stabbing—a real story. It in-
terests me more than whether Stal-
lone is dating Cornelia Guest. |
print that stuff, but | don’t really
care about it.

“It's a lousy time for gossip col-
umns,” she muses, sipping an
espresso. “How can any column
compete with the front-page sto-
ries of Gary Hart and Jim
Bakker2”

If gossip isn’t what it used to be, |
Liz points out that there are no
real stars anymore either. “Name
one romantic star today that thrills
the way Gable, Stewart and Grant
could,” she says. ‘The closest you
come are nice guys like Ted Dan-
son and Tom Selleck, but | wouldn’t walk across the room for
any of them.” What about Robert Redford? “I don’t think
seventeen people would go to see him,” she remarks.

“Big names on the marquee have always been male, but
men are obvious, while women can be more mysterious and
arouse the curiosity that draws crowds. Still, the new crop of
actresses all look alike to me. And except for glimpses of it in
Kathleen Turner, who’s got glamour anymore?”

lt is two A.M., and one of America’s power women realizes
that it is past her regular bedtime. ““M’God, look at the time,”
she gasps, getting io her feet and collecting the notes

he needs for tomorrow’s column. “| haven’t been out this late

(continued) great star who has decided not to be
one. She won't behave or dress like a star and just
never appears. She’s not so much mysterious as she
is invisible, and this has a negative effect, finally.
Her talent is so great, though, that it overrides the
crappy way she lets us see her offstage.”

Frank Sinatra

[with whom Liz had a longtime feud] “He's fading
before our eyes. The concerts draw crowds of people
with shattered dreams. Someone arranged a four-
hour meeting between us recently to try to defuse
me, and it sort of worked. He couldn’t have been
more charming and fragile. He gave me his phone
number and offered to help me with my charity work
[Liz's favorite is Literacy Volunteers]. Of course, |
didn’t follow up on either.”

Jacqueline Onassis

“It's fabulous how she’s saved herself. After
divorcing Onassis and getting $22 million, she
began to look ridiculous as a woman who just
shopped for clothes. But then she got smart, and for
the last ten years has not shown up at more than
two or three events a year. She works as an editor,
and | think she stays home alone at night, reading
manuscripts, or she sees her children and dines with
Maurice Tempelsman [Jackie’s constant escort].
She’s done good books but dumb ones, too, like the
Michael Jackson autobiography, Moonwalk. | admire
her. She proved again that if you do
something really vulgar to get a lot of money
but don’t do anything really vulgar with it,
you can enter the establishment.”

Michael Jackson

“Nice, intelligent, a really creative person,
but how dare they print anything so awful as
his book, Moonwalk. | don’t know for sure
that it was Mrs. Onassis’s fault, but it reads
at the level of ‘See Dick and Jane run.’ ”

Raquel Welch

“Totally crazed. She says things like, ‘Uh, what
did you think about my last phone call?’ ”

The Princesses of Monaco

“Honey, that country is smaller than a pack
of cigarettes, and you wouldn’t care about their
serene highnesses either if you ever saw them
dancing in some club in Monte Carlo.”

Madonna

“An absolute star, star, star—a kind of mutant
from outer space. She is a product of vulgar and
fabulous roots kids can identify with. They say, ‘|
can be Madonna, | can wear a bustier, look cheap.’
Her talent is still a big question, but her charisma
has no equal today. As for ambition, she makes
Streisand look squishy.”

elements of style

SUBDUED HUES are the new neutrals—as
mix-and-matchable as black and gray. Go for
salmon, sand, blush pink, peach and pale yellow,
and wear with a base of black, charcoal or navy.
For the softest look, pair with white flannel.

UNDERNEATH IT ALL sport a lambswool or
cotton turtleneck, a white cotton or denim shirt, a
cashmere crewneck or polo-col-
lared pullover.

EVERY JACKET YOU OWN
should mesh with other pieces in
your wardrobe to give you a suit
look, a tailored trouser outfit and
at least two skirt looks.

STRETCH YOUR OPTIONS
from the botiom up. Why not opt
for a sporty equestrian look? Jodh-

cropped and long riding jackets, as
well as tweedy plaids. What else

expensive jewels, like those in Diana’s real ring.

satin-lined, velvet jewelry case and is accom-
panied by a serially numbered Certificate of
Registration.

What's wrong with
my houseplants?
More people ask me this question than
any other. Most houseplants, especial-

ly foliage plants, come from tropical
areas where they’re accustomed to a
humid, warm environment with little
light. Our homes, in comparison, are
often too dry, too dim or too cool, par-
ticularly in the winter. Here are some
common plant problems and causes.

Overwatering is the number-one

houseplant problem, which causes the
number-two plant problem—root rot.
Waterlogged roots die because they

can’t breathe and get sufficient oxygen
to keep them alive. Pots without drain-
age holes or with heavy, sticky soil
aggravate the problem. Bacteria and
fungi in t! attack the water-
logged roots and change them from
healthy, white-tipped fibers to slimy
brown thread; blackened tips.

If you think lant is suffering
from overwate1 root it, cut off
any unhealthy 1 d dip the re-
maining healthy r em in a solu-
tion of capstan (one i poon per gal-

R-2

lon of water). Repot the doctored plant
in some well-drained sterile soil, and
prune back a few stems to compensate
for the lost roots. However, if all the
plant’s roots seem to be in poor shape,
it’s best to accept the loss and start
again with another plant.

Brown leaf tips are another common
complaint. When furnaces fire up in
the winter, the humidity in your home
drops; as a result, the leaf margins of
ferns and other plants with tender
leaves may turn brown. If you keep the
plants away from vents, heat ducts
and radiators, and set the pots on wet
gravel or sand, they should revive. Bet-

ter still, move them into the kitchen,
where the air is usually more humid.

A shortage of potassium can also
cause leaf-tip browning. Although
plants need less fertilizer in winter
than in the growing season, one or two
feedings this season are a must to keep
them flourishing.

Yellowing leaves, dropping of
leaves, pale small yellow leaves and
slow growth could be your plant’s way
of saying that it needs more sun. Re-
member, though—every plant has its
own ideal light level, and too much is
as bad as too little. Try to find the
light level that’s best for your plant.

Often, leaves turn yellow and d
because the plant has outgrown its
and the roots are pot-bound. If thi
the case, your plant needs a differ
home. The new pot should be ab
two inches wider and deeper than
old one. If the plant has recently b
moved to another location, its leaf ;
lowing may be due to stress (|
plants suffer stress just as we do).

LOVE STORY

aking up the marriage of Debbie
ynolds and Eddie Fisher, she’d been
rried four times and had a number
life-threatening illnesses as well as
ee extremely painful births. She was
‘yet thirty. Richard, thirty-six, was
o married, to Sybil, his wife of near-
thirteen years, when they began “the
st public adultery in the world.”
had driven E. from Rome in the
all.hours. All the world press was
rching for us. We thought we had
ten clean away. We drove in smug
ssfulness to a small villa that looked
pendously over the sea. We gam-
ed like children, scrambling down
rocks to the sea. We found out that
ry bush—and there were hundreds
them—contained a paparazzo. We
re well and thoroughly trapped. The
ekend turned immediately into a
htmare. We drank to the point of
pefaction. We were impregnated
h guilt. We couldn’t go out. We
de a desperate kind of love. For
ne reason—who knows or remem-
s the conversation that led up to
—K. said that she was prepared to
| herself for me. Easy to say, I said,
; no woman would kill herself for
, etc., with oodlings of self-pity. But
of it all came E., standing over me
h a bottle of sleeping pills in her
id, saying that she could do it. Go
sad, I said, or words along those
2s, whereupon she took a handful
1 swallowed them with gusto and no
matics. I didn’t believe they were
eping pills at first. For all I knew
y were vitamin C. She then took

al and hiding at home because offi-
lly E. had a tummy complaint or
ne other excuse.

sy God, what if she’d died?”

the next two years until their di-
ces came through, it was life on the
1. Finally they were married in To-
ito in 1964. “She'll be late for the last
ody judgment,” Richard said as
zabeth arrived very late, wearing a
-cut bright yellow chiffon gown
h the $150,000 emerald brooch
shard had given her. They had at
t found a Unitarian minister willing
marry them. “Why's he so nervous?”
ed Elizabeth of Richard. “We’ve
n sleeping together for two years.”

sion on a pedestal

roughout the years, Richard’s note-

ks record how important sex was in
'

their marriage. It first drew them to-
gether, and it sustained their relation-
ship, even in its stormiest periods.

“I have been inordinately lucky all
my life, but the greatest luck has been
Elizabeth. She has turned me into a
moral man but not a prig, she is a
wildly exciting lover-mistress, she is
shy and witty, she is nobody’s fool, she
is a brilliant actress, she is beautiful
beyond the dreams of pornography,
she can be arrogant and willful, she
can tolerate my impossibilities and
drunkenness, she is an ache in the
stomach when I am away from her, and
she loves me! She is a prospectus that
can never be catalogued, an almanac

for Poor Richard. And I'll love her
till I die.”

“Elizabeth is an eternal one-night
stand. She is my private and personal
bought mistress. And lascivious with
it. It is impossible to tell you what is
consisted in the act of love. Well, I'll
tell you, E. is a receiver, a perpetual
returner of the ball!”

“E. has become very slim,and I can
barely keep my hands off her. It turns
out that she’s not less in weight, but, as
a result of massage and exercise, the
weight has been redistributed. She is
at the moment among the most dish-
iest girls ve ever seen. The most. I
mean dishiest.” (continued)

The sexuality between them is
clear, but also the love. In page
after page of the diaries, Rich-
ard’s declarations make up a testa-
ment of love.

“Elizabeth has great worries
about becoming a cripple be-
cause her feet sometimes have
no feeling in them. She asked if I
would stop loving her if she had
to spend the rest of her life in a
wheelchair. I told her I didn’t care if her legs, bum and
bosoms fell off and her teeth turned yellow. And she
went bald. I love that woman so much sometimes that
I cannot believe my luck. She has given me so much.”

“My God, she’s a beauty. Sometimes, even now, after
nearly eight years of marriage, I look at her when
she’s asleep at the first light of a gray dawn and
wonder at her.”

The social whirl

The Burtons were the toast of the smart set. Richard
said he hoped he was not affected by their flattery but
admitted it was “sweet revenge for the social ostracism
we endured a relatively little time ago.”

“We were told the whole of Paris was agog. They had
put crush barriers around, and there must have been
several hundreds if not thousands of spectators. E.
wore a diadem that cost $1,200,000. We left the hotel,
surrounded by eight guards. Despite the presence of
five ministers of the government and numerous lumi-
naries of the cinema, stage and society, E. was unques-
tionably the queen of the evening.”

“So the Ball was had ... We picked up [Princess]
Grace. A very amiable Rainier brought Grace to the
gate carrying her two small bags—a considerable dif-
ference from E.T.B. Grace was nice and relaxed, and
after the initial awkwardness that I always feel with
people like Grace who are in a somewhat false position
and know it, everybody talked freely.... [At dinner]
E. and Grace were having a marvelous time. The star
turn according to them was the Duchess of Windsor,
poo is | perhaps getting slightly ga-ga. She had an
enormous feather in
her hair, and it got
into everything, the
soup, the gravy, the
ice cream, and at ev-
ery vivacious turn of

her head it smacked Guy de Rothschild sharply in the
eyes or mouth.”

Those fabulous baubles

About the famous purchases, Richard put it dryly, “I
introduced her to beer. She introduced me to Bulgari.”

“Between long silences deadly insults were hurled
about. At one point E. said to me: Come on, Richard,
hold my hand. Me: I do not wish to touch your hands.
They are large and ugly and red and masculine.

I am very contrite this morning. E. has just said that
I really must get her the sixty-nine-carat ring to make
her big, ugly hands look smaller and less ugly! Nobody
turns an insult to her advantage more swiftly or more
cleverly than Lady Elizabeth. That insult last night is
going to cost me. Betcha!”

“Bought the ring for Elizabeth. I had set a ‘lid’ on it
for one million dollars, if thou pleasest, and Cartier
outbid me by $50,000. I turned into a raving maniac.
Elizabeth protested that it didn’t matter, that there
was much more in life than baubles. The inference was
that she would make do. But not me! In the end I won.
I got the bloody thing. For $1,100,000. It turns out that
one of my rivals was Ari Onassis, but he chickened out
after $700,000. But apart from the fact that I am a
natural winner, I wanted that diamond because it is
incomparably lovely. And it should be on the loveliest
woman in the world.”

“The enemy is insidiously attacking again. Read in
the papers that Ari Onassis had given Jackie half a
million pounds’ worth of rubies. Now Missy already
has, as a result of former battles against yours truly,
one of the greatest diamonds in the world and probably
the most breathtaking collection of emeralds sur-
rounded by diamonds. Now the Battle of the Rubies is
on. It will be a long attritive war, and the idea has
already been implanted that I shouldn’t let myself be
outdone by a bloody Greek. I can be just as vulgar as
he can, I say to myself. Well, now to get the money.”

“Last night as I lay reading in bed and E. was
around the corner of the room I asked: What are you
doing, Lumpy?

She said like a little girl and quite seriously: Play-
ing with my jewels.”

In sickness and in health

Elizabeth’s health continued to be unstable. She’d had
twenty-seven operations by 1970. The intensity of her
illnesses coupled with alcohol and prescrip-
tion drugs threatened to make her a per-
petual patient. It brought out enormous
nurselike affection in Richard, and some
say Elizabeth’s illnesses may have pro-
longed their marriage.

“I have just spent the two most horrible
days of my adult life. This is the first time
I’ve seen a loved one in screaming agony
for two days, hallucinated by drugs,
sometimes knowing who I was and some-
times not, a virago one minute, an angel
the next.

Elizabeth had her uterus removed on
Sunday morning. But it’s the nights that have been
so harrowing. I took a room—next door to E.’s—to be
near her. The walls are like tissue paper, and the
first night I heard nothing but her groans through-
out the night.”

“For the last month now, E. has gone _ (continued)

to bed not merely sozzled or tipsy but
stoned. And I mean stoned, unfocused,
unable to walk straight, talking in a
slow, meaningless baby voice utterly
without reason, like a demented child.
If it were anyone else, of course, I’d
pack my bags, head for the hills and go
live in a Trappist monastery, but this
woman is my life.

“A strange thing happened to E. last
night. She had been trying on trousers
and seemed to be perfectly all right.
She fiddled about for about half an
hour. Having put her nightdress on,
she was sitting on the bed when I saw
that she was in a very strange posi-
tion. The upper half of her body was at
a very uncomfortable forty-five de-
grees to the perpendicular. Her arms
were rigid with some sort of temporary
paralysis. I finally tucked her into bed.
She was incapable of speech and could
not tell me what the matter was. To-
day, she only has a vague recollection
of it. Christ, will I be glad when this
nightmare is over. I must have a long
chat with the doctors and see how long
she has to go with these pills.”

“I had the frights again yesterday—
the second weekend in a row, God
Blast It! E. and I were going to make
love in the afternoon, and she began to
bleed. And I mean BLEED. I sat with
her and stroked her and tried to com-
fort her as best I could. It finally
stopped, but I nightmared a great deal.

What could life possibly be without
her? It’s no use picking up a mini-
skirted chick of eighteen—she
wouldn’t last a week. I would die, I
suppose, a greatly accelerated death.”

Trouble on the home front

Although they'd been known to have
some stunning fights over the years,
their battles were erupting with in-
creasing frequency before leading to
their first divorce in 1974.

“I have to face the fact that E. may
be going to take off one of these days. I
have known it deep down for some
time but have never allowed it to sur-
face. Our quarrel sounded like the
quarrels one hears from the next room
in a cheap hotel by two middle-aged
people, twenty years married and
bored witless by each other.”

“Yesterday was another terrible
day. I behaved in a way to make a
banshee look kind, good and sweet. ...
Well, I went mad, which ended up with
Elizabeth smashing me around the
head with her ringed hands. If any
man had done that, I would have
killed him, or any woman either, but
I had sufficient sense to stop myself

Pe NAGE A co See” Ae a ce UE poe

or I most surely would have put her
in hospital.”

“The last six or eight months have
been a nightmare. I created one half
and Elizabeth the other. We grated on
each other to the point of separation. It
is of course quite impossible. We are
bound together. Hoop-steeled. Whither
thou goest, he said hopefully.”

“Another worry is that I have tem-
porarily lost all sexual urge, which is
very frustrating for E. Presumably be-
cause of the terrific change in my body
resulting from total abstinence for
three weeks, after thirty years of
steady and sometimes unsteady drink-
ing ... When it does come back, it will
be a vast explosion. If it does come
back—which it better had.”

The final curtain

After a very brief reunion, their second
divorce came in 1976. While Elizabeth
languished unhappily as the wife of
John Warner—she went from 1380 to
175 pounds—Richard married, first
Susan Hunt and then Sally Hay. In
1983, the famous couple were reunited
in the Noel Coward play Private
Lives. The brief entries below, the last
Richard was to write, show a sad pic-
ture of Elizabeth, lonely and confused,
in a drug and alcohol haze.

“Maria [Elizabeth’s adopted daugh-
ter] came over with baby. Went with
them to see E.T., who’s using Rock
Hudson’s flat. E.’s face okay but figure
slop! Also drinking. Also had not yet
read play! That’s my girl!”

“E.T. bad. Couldn’t even read the
lines properly. Doubtless she’ll come
up to scratch eventually. E.T. as excit-
ing as a flounder temporarily. E.T. be-
ginning to bore, which I would not
have thought possible all those years
ago. How terrible a thing time is.”

“E.T. only fifteen minutes late today
but then spent fifteen minutes doing
her eyebrows. She is also on some-
thing, because there are lines she can’t
say at all. Very worrying. She is also
terribly low in energy. Tells me twice
an hour how lonely she is.”

“E.T. tremendously better in first
act—still rocky in second and reads
third. For the first time I enjoyed re-
hearsals. Hope it continues.”

“Two runs-through today and the
difference in performances was sensa-
tional in comparison with a mere one
and a half days ago. The play and
players began to invent. Odd man out
is me at the moment. Well, I’ll see
what I can do.”

This was the last entry in Richard’s
diaries. A short while before he died
in 1984, Richard told the actor John
Hurt about Elizabeth, “I’m still fasci-
nated by her.” |

hile reading a copy of Ladies’ Home Journal,
do you ever have a question you'd like to
ask an editor, a comment you'd like to
make? Well, we’d like to talk with you. One
day each month we’re going to open the phones to
our readers. Editors from different departments will
be at the other end of the line ready to hear queries,

can only do this once a
month, because as
Queries, opinions or sugges-
tions? We want to hear
from you

much as we like to
talk to readers—and
we really do—we have
to spend our time turning
out this magazine. Also, |
want to make it clear that
you'll have to pay for the calls. That’s why these phones will be answered
only once a month, when an editor is at the other end
ready to talk to you. And on calling day you'll either get a busy signal or an editor ready
to listen. Each month the date of the call-in day and the departments who will be taking
calls will be published in the magazine. We think this is a way of getting to know you
even better and to make sure we are really serving your needs. Our first call-in day is
February 8, and we'll be taking calls between one and four P.M. Eastern Standard Time.

On the line that day will be Health Editor Nelly Edmondson Gupta at 212-351-3680.
Nelly will have a doctor with her to help answer questions about health or self-help
concerns. Call Food Editor Jan Hazard at 212-351-3681; Beauty and Fashion Editor Lois
Joy Johnson at 212-351-3682; Decorating Editor Marilyn Glass at 212-351-3683; and
Managing Editor Mary Mohler at 212-351-3684, who will answer questions about child
care as well as answer general queries about the magazine. So give us a call.

Hope you enjoy this issue filled with the work of outstanding writers and respected
experts. Top British writer Anthony Holden gives a provocative picture of Charles and
Diana (page 115). There’s also a condensation of an unforgettable novel, Waverly Place,
by award-winning journalist Susan Brownmiller.What else? Beauty advice from a panel of
super doctors, tummy trimmers from an exercise whiz, love lessons from a leading sex
counselor and our totally revamped food section. Make your love that chocolate basket
on page 156, and | know you'll have a perfect Valentine’s Day.

Quality you

By Laurie Werner

Introduced thirty-six
years ago, “Can this
marriage be saved?” is
the most popular, most
enduring women’s
magazine feature in the

world. This month’s case

is based oninterviews
with clients and
information from the
files of Toby Adis,
M.S.S., a counselor for
the Jewish Family and
Children’s Service of
Philadelphia, which is
a private nonprojit
organization and a
member of the Family
Service Association of
America. The story
reported here is true,
although names and
other details have been
changed to conceal
identities.

Julie’s turn

“IT DON’T WANT TO LEAVE DAVID,
but I don’t think I have a choice,” said
Julie, an attractive thirty-six-year-
old. “My home is a prison, and David is
the warden. He’s like a machine—he
acts just like one of his computers.

“Sometimes the
girls and I—we
have two daugh-
ters, Lily, seven,
and Jackie, five—
don’t even see him
when he comes
home from his job
as a computer pro-
grammer. With
barely a nod to us,
he skips dinner and goes straight into
the den to do even more work.

“Communication? Forget it. Sex?
Forget that, too. Not that we ever
really had much of a satisfying sex

life. From the day we were married
a, sie

eight years ago, David’s idea of ro-
mance has been to make love just

about the same time every week. Nev-
er has there been any spontaneity,

David was emotionally
and physically remote.
What happens when a
wife feels trapped in.

a passionless marriage?

any deviation from that timetable. I
remember in the beginning, in be-
tween our scheduled events, I would
turn over in bed and cry, wondering
what was wrong with me, why my
husband wasn’t hugging or touching
me. If only he would show me even the
slightest bit of affection. Here it is,
almost Valentine’s Day, and I can’t
help thinking that Ill be lucky if I
even get a quick hello kiss.

“True enough, David has been like
this as long as I’ve known him, and I
admit that in the beginning I didn’t
mind. In fact, I found his computerlike
efficiency kind of reassuring.

“Td just ended a terrible marriage.
Barely twenty and still in college, I
had married a man I didn’t really love,
but I was desperate to get away from
home. My father died when I was a
baby, and my mother. . . don’t get me
started on her. As far as she’s con-
cerned, I never do anything right.

“Anyway, I knew within a few
months that my marriage would nev-
er work. My husband was blatantly
unfaithful. Still, I stuck it out for
three years because I couldn’t face
telling my mother.

seemed to appreciate me. Though I
often worked late and on weekends,
I didn’t mind. For the first time in
my life, I felt fulfilled. And I started
to dread going home.

“Fortunately, I was making
enough money to hire a wonderful
housekeeper who ran the whole
show. Frankly, after years of un-
happiness, that house had become a
symbol of everything I hated. I
didn’t want to have a thing to do
with it. I guess you could say to

“David, of course,

ing unreasonable. But,
you know, he has nev-

what’s wrong, what’s
making me feel so un-
happy.

“The crazy thing is I
don’t really know
what’s wrong. Why, if
I like my job and final-
ly feel free, am I so miserable? Last
week, I actually went upstairs and
started to pack my bags. What
stopped me? Probably I couldn’t
bear to face my mother again with
another obvious failure in my life.

“Whatever the reason, I know it’s
time for us to at least make a try of
counseling. But if David can’t be a
human being, I’m taking the girls
and moving out.”

David's turn

“To be perfectly honest, I have no
idea why I’m here,” said David,
thirty-eight, a softspoken man
with neatly combed blond hair. “Ju-
lie and I have never had any serious
problems, so when she told me she
was on the verge of leaving, I was
caught totally off guard.

“She has been acting irrationally
lately, screaming constantly at the
girls for no reason. I know it’s rough
to have two little kids making

noise, but no one ever said parent-
ing was easy. I don’t think their
behavior warrants her hysteria.

“T don’t know why Julie is acting
like this now. She has always been
the most giving, stable person. Af-
ter my first disastrous marriage,
she was a breath of fresh air.

“So what if I was predictable
about calling for dates? Is it so ter-
rible to be organized? That’s the
way I was raised. My mother’s credo
was ‘A place for everything and
everything in its place.’ She created
a very structured environment for
me as a kid, and I guess it carried
over. College, for instance, was very
structured. I didn’t party all the
time like everyone else. I majored
in engineering, and I worked. Same
in graduate school.

“Why am I apologizing for being
this way? Look, I find it comforting
to have things planned out, to know
what I’m getting into. I’ve never
been good at just winging it. In fact,
all those times Julie kept insisting
we go out with people I didn’t know

... well, I said no because I was
scared to death.

“I know Julie doesn’t understand

that, just like she doesn’t under-
stand how I feel about outward dis-
plays of affection. I don’t think it’s
true that I never show affection
... but Pll admit it’s not easy for
me. That’s also the way I was
raised. Mother was very Victorian,
very prim and proper. Father died
when I was thirteen, and my broth-
er, who’s seven years my senior,
never paid any attention to me. I
found it hard to make friends and
was pretty much a loner.

“It’s news to me, too, that she’s so
dissatisfied with our sex life. She
never said anything, and I honestly
don’t remember a teary session like
the one she described.

“The only problem I am aware of
is money—but all couples fight
about that. When we built our
house, the accountant told me it
would be very tight, and I told Julie
we'd have to curtail expenses for
the next few years.

“Okay, so I overdid it, but do you
have any idea how difficult it is to
make ends meet? Again, this is the
way I was brought up. We never
bought anything we didn’t need, we
paid our bills on time and we didn’t
borrow money to do it.

“Julie says my getting a new job
would be the perfect solution, but
it’s not that simple.I (continued)

The counselor's turn

“After their first session, it was clear
that Julie and David each had a great
deal to work through in their own
backgrounds before they could resolve
their problems as a couple,” noted the
counselor. “That’s why I recommended
they see me separately for a while.

himself from anxiety. Left essentially

people he didn’t know, his reluctance
to hunt for a better job and his pulling
back from his wife during stressful
times were all examples of this avoid-
ance behavior.

“To help free David from his anxi-
eties, we started by examining each of
his concerns individually. We broke
down the terror of each situation by
analyzing the worst possible thing
that could happen. Once he heard him-
self actually speaking the words, Da-
vid understood how unrealistic his fears
were. And this gave him the courage to
put himself in that situation.

“For instance, when we discussed
his reluctance to socialize with Julie’s
friends, David acknowledged that
probably the worst thing that would
happen on such an evening was that
no one would talk to him and he would
have a terrible time. However, when
he finally dragged himself to dinner at
the home of a couple who had children
the same age as theirs, David discov-
ered he had more in common with
them than he ever dreamed.

“As David started to take more
risks, his confidence grew; he was able
to begin opening up emotionally.

“Meanwhile, in Julie’s sessions, we
spent a great deal of time discussing

and I loved being parents, we had decid-

couldn’t support a bigger family on his
income as a construction worker, and I
was determined to stay at home full-
time with my son.

I never questioned our decision until
one month when my period was late.
Suddenly, the thought of a baby moving
around inside me again was exciting. I
realized that I yearned to be pregnant.
When my period finally

that I felt regret as well

and the parents who would

raise the baby. You see, I am a sur-
rogate mother, and the baby I was
about to give birth to belonged to them.

Unfortunately, my labor progressed
so quickly that the parents
arrived at the hospital after
their son was born. I was
disappointed that they had
missed the birth but de-
lighted that their dream of
parenthood had finally
come true.

That was not my first
surrogate birth—or my last.
During the past six years I
have been a_ surrogate
mother four times. I know
it’s hard for many people to
understand how I can do
this, but if I had missed out
on any of these pregnancies,
I would feel that something
was lacking in my life.

It was in 1981, when I
turned thirty-one and my
son Luke was a toddler,
that I first thought about

people who can’t have a baby!”

Tony stared at me in disbelief. “Think
how empty our lives would be without
Luke,” I urged. “Imagine how we would
feel if we could never have a child.”

Tony looked down at Luke, who was
playing on the floor. “Okay,” he finally
said. “Find out more about becoming a
surrogate mother, and then we'll talk
about it. But Louise, would you really be
able to give up a baby?”

That question haunted me for weeks.
But after a great deal of soul-searching,
I decided I could do it—because Id al-
ready done it -years before.

When I was sixteen, I’'d become preg-
nant and had married my high school
sweetheart. Four years later, my mar-
riage was over, and I was alone with a
three-year-old and a one-year-old, and
no way to support them. I had no skills;
I'd never held a job. My ex-husband had
joined a motorcycle gang, and I couldn’t
count on him for any kind of financial
support, nor could my parents afford to
help. I was desperate.

I felt ’'d never be able to give my sons
the secure, happy life that I wanted for
them. I thought (continued on page 28)

(continued from page 22) about put-
ting them in temporary foster care,
but I was afraid they’d be shunted
from one house to another. So final-
ly, I made the most painful decision
of my life—I would give up my chil-
dren for adoption.

Signing those adoption papers
was the hardest thing I'd ever done.
I tried to comfort myself with the
fact that both boys were being
adopted by one family, but it didn’t
help. For months I couldn’t bear to
look at children my sons’ ages, and
even today I cry on their birthdays.

Eight years later when I met
Tony, I had finally put my life back
together. We both wanted a child,
and I became pregnant right away.
I'd been given a second chance at
motherhood, and I was overjoyed.

So now I really wanted to help
someone else experience the joys of
having a child. I knew I could be a
good surrogate mother—especially
since ’'d know from the start that
the baby was not mine to keep.

I called Surrogate Parenting, the
agency in Louisville, Kentucky,
that had been mentioned on the TV
news report. They sent me an appli-
cation, and then Tony, Luke and I
flew to Louisville for a series of psy-
chological tests. Tony was now as
eager as I was to help another cou-
ple become parents. And the
$10,000 compensation would make
it easier for me to continue staying
home with Luke.

The agency called two months la-
ter to tell us that a couple had cho-
sen me as their surrogate after
reading the reports and looking at
my pictures. I was thrilled!

I went back to Louisville for the
insemination. I was a nervous
wreck as I boarded the plane. Was I
really doing the right thing? Would
the insemination hurt? And what if
something was wrong with the baby
and the parents didn’t want it?

But at the agency, my fears evap-
orated. The two inseminations were
only mildly uncomfortable. I went
home in high spirits.

Pll never forget my disappoint-
ment when I got my period. I felt
that the parents were counting on
me, and I'd let them down. I cried as
I reported the news to the agency.

Fortunately, the next insemina-
tion was successful. I was ecstatic!
When would I feel those first kicks?
I wondered happily.

As the months progressed, Tony
and I had several discussions with

little Luke to make sure that he
understood that the baby was “for a
lady who can’t have a baby of her
own.” Beyond that, our explanation
was simple: “We go to Kentucky to
make the baby, and we go back to
Kentucky for the baby’s birth.” But
after the birth, we added, the
“°Tucky baby” (as Luke called it)
would stay behind.

Throughout the pregnancy I felt
confident and serene, but I was
careful to keep an emotional dis-
tance from the baby. I didn’t let my-
self imagine what he or she looked
like, and I reminded myself fre-
quently that this was not my child.
I just enjoyed rubbing my tumniy
and feeling the baby move.

Finally, in the fall of 1982, Tony,
Luke and I flew to Louisville for the
birth. I couldn’t wait to meet the
baby’s parents. But when we ar-
rived at the agency, the staff in-
formed us that the baby’s mother
could think of herself as the real
mother only if she didn’t meet me.
Her rejection of me hurt deeply, and
I cried my heart out.

But the next day at the hospital,
Tony and I did get to meet Bill, the
baby’s father. Bill even joined me in
the labor room. I’ll never forget the
sight of him holding his newborn
son, grinning so hard I’m sure his
face hurt. At that moment, I knew
that I'd done the right thing.

The baby was beautiful, but I felt
no real connection to him. I held
him once just after he was born, and
after that I was content to admire
him through the nursery window.
However, I do treasure the picture
Bill gave me of himself holding his
son. I had helped create a new fam-
ily, and I was ready to do it again.

I had the “Thanksgiving baby”
two years later and then became
pregnant with my third surrogate
child in 1986. That pregnancy was a
special pleasure because I commu-
nicated with the parents, Sarah and
Jim, right from the start. We
phoned each other frequently, and
Luke and I even met them before
the inseminations.

I'll never forget Sarah’s squeals of
excitement when, after four unsuc-
cessful tries, I reported that I was
pregnant. And I can still picture the
expression on Jim’s face when I
handed him his son and said, “This
baby belongs to you.” There were no
words to describe his joy.

Today, I’m nearing the end of my
fourth surrogate pregnancy. Since

I’m now thirty-eight, I had an am-
niocentesis done at the parents’ re-
quest. When I got the results, I sent
them a card saying, “It’s a boy!” I
won't meet the couple until the
birth, but we write each other, and I
feel a strong tie between us.
Because of my age, this pregnan-
cy will probably be my last. That
thought makes me sad, but I have
tremendous satisfaction in knowing
that I was able to help four couples
become four families. We’ve shared
the miracle of life. a

Surrogate motherhood:
Uncertain status

In 1987 the Baby M trial thrust surrogate
parenting into the national spotlight,
raising numerous ethical and legal ques-
tions. Yet for all the attention surrogacy
has received, there are still no federal
laws clarifying the rights of the parties
involved. Currently, at least twenty-four
states are considering bills to restrict sur-
rogacy, while five states have laws mak-
ing surrogacy contracts unenforceable.

Attacked by critics as baby selling and
condemned by religious groups, including
Roman Catholics and Orthodox Jews, sur-
rogacy nevertheless remains an option
for infertile couples. During the last de-
cade, there have been an estimated one
thousand births to surrogate mothers.
And with one in six couples unable to
have a child of their own, the demand
for surrogates continues to grow.

But even some of the advocates of
surrogacy are now calling for legal regu-
lation. In fact, according to a recent
study done by Hilary Hanafin, Ph.D., a
psychologist at the Center for Surrogate
Parenting, in Beverly Hills, California,
both surrogates and the couples who hire
them want regulations and restrictions in
order to protect all parties involved.

Clearly, the courts are a long way from
making a landmark decision. “It will
probably take Babies N, O and P before
we get alaw on the subject,” says Lori An-
drews, a lawyer and the author of Between
Strangers—Surrogate Mothers, Expectant
Fathers and Brave New Babies (Harper &
Row, 1989). “But eventually, | think that
the law will allow surrogacy and regu-
late it.” —PAMELA GUTHRIE O'BRIEN

perfect opportunity to collect
classic styles and _ seasonless

hints plus the ten best wardrobe-
boosting fashions to buy

10 basics to buy 3

i Shaker-knit cotton sweaters with chunky ribs or cables. They're wearable year-round, ideal for
weekends. Choose winter pick-me-up shades like white, pale pink and peach, and brights. If you
notice any pilling, the sweater is poor quality—teave it on the rack. I Classic wool sweaters in
crew, turtle, mock turtle or cardigan styles. How to tell if it’s worth the price? Bunch the sweater in
your hand. If it springs back to shape, it’s top-notch. Remember: There’s nothing wrong with
synthetic blends—they can enhance the quality of knits: 5 to 10 percent nylon adds strength to
wool. Ml A classic-cut winter coat in a flattering color (camel chesterfields are in). Warming details
include full lining, a collar that buttons at the neck, double-breasted styles, flaps to cover buttons
or Zippers, roomy cut fo allow layering. Ml A jacket that will update your suits, skirts, trousers—
either cropped or longer and shaped with a defined shoulder line. I An easy white notch-collared
shirt with quality details like French cuffs. Ml A classic English-style trench coat with a deep yoke,
epaulets, belt. I Forties-style wool trousers or chic equestrian jodhpurs. Ml Slim tailored wool skirt
in black or navy. Ml Bright leather, suede or wool jersey gloves. Ml A mock-croc leather clutch.

MAKEUP SECRETS
of famous faces

Three top TV stars—Mel Harris of
thirtysomething, Phylicia Rashad of The
Cosby Show and Candice Bergen of
Murphy Brown—go for a natural glow in
front of the camera. Try their tricks—
you'll look subtly sensational, too!

= Candice Bergen exudes an outdoorsy spir-

it—blond highlights underline her golden-girl look.
Candice’s hair is cut in soft, off-the-face waves to play
up her strong bones and widow’s peak. She has very
deep-set blue eyes, and she brings them out of hiding
with lots and lots of black mascara on both top and
bottom lashes. She applies barely-there taupe shadow
on lids from lashes to brows. Brows are brushed up
and stay in place with a brow-fix product. Candice’s
full lips are treated to lip balm, then a sheer coat of
slightly pink gloss, lightly blotted. Her whole face
glows—she whisks golden, tawny blush on her high
cheekbones, forehead, across bridge of nose and chin.

& Phylicia Rashad concentrates makeup on

her almond-shaped eyes. She expertly applies liner
and complementary shadows to add depth and maxi-
mize shape. First she lines upper lash line as close to
base as possible with a fine-tipped, black felt liner and
applies taupe liner directly above the black line.
Smoky brown shadow shades outer half of lid and
outer half of crease—peachy-coral shadow highlights
center of lid and browbone. Finally she smudges dark-
brown liner beneath lower lashes. Phylicia likes a
matte look and tops her water-base, sheer foundation
with translucent powder. She balances her
eyes with lots of coral blush along top of
cheekbones and sheer red color on lips.

PRINCESS PRESLEY
Elvis little girl grows up

Her daddy was the King, the greatest rock-’n’-roll star the world has ever known.
Women of all ages sighed over his love-me-tender sexiness; men of all ages wanted
to step into his blue suede shoes.

Yet for much of her life, Elvis Presley’s little girl, Lisa Marie, was sheltered from
the public that adored her father so. Mother Priscilla guarded her daughter’s privacy
with a fierce protectiveness, particularly after Elvis’ sudden death in 1977.

Lisa Marie was kept so far from the limelight, in fact, that she
almost couldn’t grasp her father’s fame. “I told her that Led
Zeppelin once came to meet her dad at the Forum in L.A., and
she couldn’t get over that!” recalls Elvis’ stepbrother Rick
Stanley. “She was really impressed. I

Try OVERNITES from KOTEX:

finally stepping onto center
stage herself. This month,
Graceland’s little darling turns
twenty-one, and, judging by
looks alone, she’s clearly an
adult. Her heavy-lidded eyes
smolder, just like her dad’s did,
and her lip curls with the same
sensuality; tint her long blond
hair black, and she’d look almost exactly like her father.

And now that she’s no longer a child, Lisa Marie is
making news—not to mention commercials.

Headlines trumpeted her October 3 marriage
to L.A. rocker Danny Keough, a journeyman guitar-
player, and blared out the announcement that she was
already carrying what would have been Elvis’ first
grandchild. The marriage was barely a month old be-
fore it was rumored to be headed for the rocks. The
rumors were consistently denied. On the professional
side, Lisa Marie made her show-biz debut by co-star-
ring in an Oldsmobile ad with her mom. (Lisa Marie
received $250,000 and a new car.)

The commercial pokes fun at the strict way Priscilla
raised her daughter. First, Lisa Marie complains about
how Mom always “put her foot down” when she was
growing up. Then Mom drives up in a new Olds, and
Lisa climbs on board. They both laugh as Priscilla
says, “I put my foot down,” and
they speed off into the sunset.

The relationship between this
strong-willed mother and daughter
has not always been a laughing
matter; Priscilla was not thrilled,
for instance, with the rushed na-
ture of the wedding necessitated by
Lisa Marie’s pregnancy.

“As long as she’s happy, I’m
right with her,” Priscilla has said.
“Tm not happy that it was so
quick. I envisioned a big wedding with all our friends,
but we'll make it up.”

A simple wedding

Danny, in a dark suit, and Lisa Marie, in a knee-length
pale-pink silk dress, were married at the Scientologists’
Celebrity Center chapel in L.A. before only a handful of
guests, including Priscilla and her parents, her sister
Michelle, and a few friends. Like the wedding, the hon-
eymoon was very hush-hush. The couple took a cruise to
the Caribbean, sailing aboard the SMV Freewinds, a
ship that’s owned by the Church of Scientology, with
only other church members as fellow passengers. Danny,
like Priscilla and Lisa Marie, is a longtime member of
the controversial sect.

There has been speculation that Danny is a fortune
hunter, but if he is, he’ll have to be patient. In a
surprise move just last July, Lisa Marie and Priscilla
agreed to delay her inheritance of Elvis’ fortune five
years, from her twenty-fifth to her thirtieth birthday.

Many Presley watchers interpreted the postpone-
ment as a declaration that Lisa Marie—a high school
dropout—was not yet y to run the $50 million
Graceland estate. Some whispered that Priscilla had
hoped putting off the inheritance would act as an anti-
gigolo device.

Several of Lisa Marie 1tives feel she is still too

young to be burdened with the problems of Graceland’s
management. They feel it is being capably run now,
and that Lisa Marie shouid have time to enjoy her new

life with Danny. According to Elvis’ cousin Edie Hand,
Lisa Marie will always be strongly attached to Grace-
land. “She enjoys coming back and visiting with her
aunts and childhood friends,” she says. “The third floor
is where her dad stayed and where her room was.
That’s where she stays. It’s quiet.” She can also look
out her window and see her father’s grave as well as
recall a thousand memories of her days at Graceland.

Lisa Marie was born on February 1, 1968, exactly
nine months to the day after Elvis and Priscilla’s mar-
riage on May 1, 1967. (Elvis had refused to let Priscilla
use birth control pills because he considered them too
dangerous.)When Elvis first laid eyes on his newborn
daughter he marveled, “I can’t believe that I made a
part of this beautiful child.”

Still, the Presleys hadn’t exactly planned on a
baby so soon. When her pregnancy was confirmed,
Priscilla had mixed feelings about it. “I wanted to be
beautiful for him. Instead, my first year as Elvis’ wife
was going to be spoiled by a fat stomach, puffy face
and swollen feet.”

Memories of Graceland |

But nothing could spoil Graceland for Lisa Marie, who
saw it as a cross between paradise and an amusement
park. As Elvis’ aunt, Nash Presley Pritchett, recalls,

isa Mane,” said Aunt Nash,
“you're lke your father. You know
one speed, and that’s wide open.”

“Lisa Marie actually did live a storybook life. She
loved Graceland and all the freedom it gave her. She
had fourteen acres to run around on.” Lisa Marie loved
riding her horse and swimming in the pool behind the
house. “And while other kids rode bikes or scooters,
Lisa Marie would speed around in her own golf cart
that Elvis gave her. She’d drive all over the yard. I
told her one day: ‘Lisa Marie, you’re like your father.
You know one speed, and that’s wide open.’ ”

While Graceland was a dream for her daughter, it
often turned into a nightmare for Priscilla. An old
friend of Elvis’, J.D. Sumner, once said: “The only
thing a woman has got is her home, and Priscilla
didn’t even have that. Elvis had twenty bodyguards in
the house at all times.”

Eventually Elvis and Priscilla separated for good.
Elvis was constantly on the road, and both had
strayed into extramarital affairs. Lisa Marie was only
five at the time of the split and went to Los Angeles to
live with her mother. Her father was allowed very
liberal visitation privileges, and Lisa Marie frequently
returned to Graceland and her doting daddy. He
bought a jet, named it the Lisa Marie and flew her to
Las Vegas to watch him perform. On another occasion,
he spent $30,000 to fly her to Utah so she could romp
in the snow.

But all of the King’s lavish gifts could not give Lisa
Marie what she really wanted—a happy family. That
fact was driven home at her fifth birthday party. Elvis
showed up with his new girlfriend, Linda Thompson,
but at one point he spoke to Priscilla (continued)

privately. When they had finished, Lisa Marie rushed
over to her father and said, “Didn’t you make things so
we can be together again, Daddy?”

The strain on her parents’ faces revealed that no
amount of wishing could make it so; Elvis and Priscilla
were divorced in the fall of 1973.

It was only four years later that Lisa Marie would
lose her daddy forever. On August 16, 1977, the King
died of heart failure, beaten by too many years of
fast living.

The King is dead

“I used to see my dad take pills, but I was so young that I
didn’t think anything about it,” Lisa Marie has said.“But
all the bad things never changed my love for my dad.”

Nine-year-old Lisa Marie was at Graceland on that
day, enjoying her summer vacation. As Aunt Nash re-
members, “She and a little friend were in her room up-
stairs, which was just across the hall from Elvis’ dressing
room.” When the house filled with strangers, the fright-
ened child came out. According to Edie, she ran down the
hall a moment later and cried out: “They can’t wake my
daddy up. Something’s wrong!”

When Priscilla, in California, heardof Elvis’ death, she
was immediately concerned for Lisa Marie.

“When Elvis died, I had only one thought,” she told the
press. “I had to get Lisa away from that mess.” Priscilla
immediately flew to see her daughter.

When she arrived at Graceland, she found Lisa Marie
riding around and around in the golf cart that had been

many millions more from his movies, concerts ar
TV specials. According to The Commercial Appeal, tk
newspaper in Memphis, Presley’s manager, Colon
Tom Parker, took a full 50 percent commissi¢
and his publicity agency, William Morris, took a
other 10 percent. In 1973, Parker sold master tapes
seven hundred Elvis songs to RCA for $5.4 million. As
result, only a fraction of the money made from tho
songs ever made it into the singer’s bank account.

When Priscilla took control as co-executor, she took :
active role in the decision-making that brought the esta
back to its current healthy status.

While the limited assets were shocking to Priscilla, s.
was still rich by any standard. Elvis had taken care
her in their divorce settlement. She received $750,000
cash and $6,000 a month in alimony. Elvis paid an ade
tional $4,000 a month in child support. As co-executor
the estate, Priscilla allotted Lisa Marie a monthly allo’

A troubled childhood

The girl seemed enigmatic to Edwards. After he move
with Priscilla, Lisa Marie remained moody, quiet
aloof. Priscilla had to explain to him, “Lisa Marie
come to you when she’s ready.”

She maintained a low profile at the various excl
private schools she attended throughout her teen yea:
was a crowd Lisa Marie felt uncomfortable with, and
would drop out after her junior year. “At those
schools, I turned into a spoiled brat,” she said recentl

Priscilla continued to protect her from the media

arrived for her daily.

In many other respects, Lisa Marie was like any gir
age. She loved McDonald’s and dressing like her fav:
rock star, Pat’ Benatar. Pictures of Lisa Marie and ]
lined the hallway outside her room, but her own walls:
reserved for rockers of her day like Billy Idol and the S$
Cats; today she admires the Irish supergroup, U2.

Inside, Lisa Marie remained unsure of herself. The
she was constantly complimented on her looks, she
Edwards, “I’m not pretty ... ’m funny-looking.”

“Lisa Marie wasn’t happy in Beverly Hills,” Ed
says. “At Graceland, everyone doted on her. She had
run of the place. She ordered everyone around like a m:
ture Elvis.”

Priscilla soon discovered there was a limit to the col
she could exert on her daughter. By age fourteen,
teenager was starting to turn boys’ heads—just as
mother had caught the eye of a young private who
stationed in Germany when she was only fourteen.

At one point, according to Edwards, Lisa Marie too

“She was used badly,” Priscilla says today. “The ex)

influence on her life. We were both hurt by it, but tl
the kind of thing you have to overcome.”

Lisa Marie was not completely innocent as far as d
were concerned. “I was just in this rebellious stage,”
Marie has said. “The drugs were part of that. I startec
with sedatives and then got into pot. I know that a l
people would ask, “Why did you do that if your father

freely about him and share wonderful memories.”

And so Princess Presley seems to be coming to té
with her legacy, and with herself. She’s begun her
family, and rumors persist that—with the encourager
of her husband—Lisa Marie is thinking about eventu

But with the apartment came new problems. Rumors of
feuds between mother and daughter hit the tabloids.
There were reports that Lisa Marie was having wild
parties while Priscilla was helplessly watching in anger.
Lisa Marie just called the reports “unfair,” according to
her aunt Nash.

By this time, Priscilla had another child to worry
about. On March 1, 1987, she gave birth to her first son,
whom she named Navarone. The child’s father is Marco
Garibaldi, a handsome screenwriter who began living
with Priscilla in 1985. Lisa Marie chose to be in the
delivery room when Navarone was born. And after less
than a year of being out on her own, she came back home
to help Priscilla take care of her baby brother. “He’s an
incredible child,” Lisa Marie said recently. “I plan to
raise my kids the way my mom does the little one.”

Too many dieters never make it from “before” to “after?

Program can help you reach “after” a lot sooner than you think.

Last year alone, this proven effective program helped millions of mem-
bers take off weight over 20% faster than ever. This year, it’s even easier.

Our New Quick Success Program now includes even more delicious
choices on its food plan. And as a Weight Watchers member, you'll receive

habits—and stick to your food plan.

If you'd like to make an even greater commitment to your weight loss
effort, we offer an optional exercise plan. It’s also the perfect way to build

One of today’s hottest health trends is the use of medical tests you perform in the privacy
of your home. In the past five years, sales of these tests have more than doubled, rising
from $348 million in 1984 to an estimated $736 million this year. When used correctly,

they're as accurate as tests performed in a clinical setting, according to Tom Tsakeris,
deputy director of the Food and Drug Administration’s division of clinical laboratory devices.

To get the best results from any self-administered test, follow these tips: Il Don’t use a test that has
expired. Ii Don’t expose tests to extreme temperatures; follow storage directions. IJ Read instructions
before starting the test. i If appropriate, time tests with a stopwatch or clock with a second hand.
Hi Report results of all home medical tests to your doctor; they are not a substitute for regular medical care.

It’s not always easy
to get pregnant.

If you're seriously trying to
ecome pregnant, it may take at
east 6 months. For many, it can
ake much longer.

The reason is often simple.
fou can only become pregnant
i few days a month, when you
ulate. Clearplan™ Ovulation
-redictor tells you when you
ire Ovulating.

It even lets you know 24-36
1ours ahead of time. And it’s
18% accurate.*

It's a test kit you use at home.
{tests your urine until it detects
i hormone surge which occurs
ust before you ovulate. This
neans your body is almost
eady to become pregnant.

Clearplan makes it
very simple.

In fact, Clearplan is the sim-
plest ovulation test you can buy.
Unlike other tests, it has no com-
plicated procedures to follow.

With Clearplan you don’t use
messy urine cups, droppers or
vials. Instead, there’s just a stick
and a tiny tray. Simply hold the
stick in the urine stream and
then place it in the slots on the
tray. Reading the result is easy.
When the stick turns blue,
you're about to ovulate.

CLEARPLAN”

More likely to help
more women.

Most other kits only test for
5 or 6 days, Clearplan tests for
10. Because we know that
everyone's cycle isn't regular.

For women with irregular
cycles, a kit with only 5 or 6
days of tests might run out
before detecting ovulation. But
a 10-day test kit can detect
ovulation in 90% of the women
who use it. Obviously, with
Clearplan, the odds are in your
favor. That’s why there's no test
more likely to help you get what
you want. A baby. And a whole
new life. Still have questions?

that same editor tells me, “The check is in the

American Express and give the same line to
the nice lady in the accounting department.
Has it always been this way, or is it only
recently that lying, fibbing and stretching the
truth has become as intrinsic to everyday life as,
say, brushing one’s teeth (which is probably the
activity that inspires the most lying among small
children)? Whatever happened to honesty?

THE AMERICAN WAY

“There is actually a kind of cultural folklore
that lying is expected,” notes Bruce Jennings,
of the Hastings Center, a private research cen-
ter on ethics in Briarcliff Manor, New York.
Certainly, the recent scandals—from the Iran-
contra affair to insider trading on Wall
Street—have borne out that expectation.

“When you see lying in the public arena, it
tends to make people feel it’s

more acceptable,” says Rose
Marie Tong, Ph.D., associate

RTE
PPR

professor of philosophy at
Williams College, in Massa-
chusetts. “Trust is eroded,
and you can’t take what any-
one says at face value. That’s
a real loss to the human community.”

Indeed, most Americans think the problem
has gotten worse: Over half those questioned
for a recent national magazine survey believe
people are less honest today than they were ten
years ago; seven out of ten say they are dissat-
isfied with current standards of honesty.

According to John Benson, senior research librarian of

Who tells the most lies?

According to a recent survey of five hundred adults conducted for
Decipher, Inc., in conjunction with the launch of their new game,
Telling Lies, those most likely to lie are males aged eighteen to
twenty-four who have some college education, earn $15,000 to
$30,000 a year, vote Democratic and live in New-England. Who is
the most truthful person in America? Probably your grandmother. Thi
survey revealed that those least likely to lie are females sixty-five
and older with some high school education; they earn less than
$15,000 per year, vote Republican and live in the deep South.

In general, more women than men said they always tell the
truth—57 percent versus 47 percent. What's more, honesty seems tol}
increase with age: Among respondents sixty-five and older, 76
percent said they always tell the truth compared with 27 percent of |
eighteen- to twenty-four-year-olds. In only one instance would senia)
citizens admit to acting less truthfully than their younger
counterparts: If their best friend’s spouse made a sexual advance,
only 52 percent of those sixty-five and older would tell their friend
while a whopping 79 percent of the younger generation would.

In the survey, respondents were asked to reveal how they would
respond to some sticky situations. For example, there’s the issue of
found money, and here the gender gap was more apparent. Asked ti
imagine whether they would keep money accidentally scattered on
the highway from a security truck, 28 percent of the men said they
would, but only 17 percent of the women admitted to sticky fingers.
From a geographical point of view, nearly half of those in the New
England states (46 percent) said they would keep the bills, whereas
only 14 percent of farm-belt folks would do the same. (Hey, New
Englanders: What's going on up there?)

And, finally, a work-related issue: If you made a big mistake on
the job that might never be discovered but still could cost your
company a lot of money, would you tell your boss? Most of the
respondents said they would ‘fess up, though eighteen- to twenty-

or gain us entrée, we believe, into a desired group.

Lies of avoidance—“I'd love to go, but my in-laws are
coming for dinner”; “I have to be out of town the night of
your party’—provide us with handy excuses that others
can believe, or at least pretend to believe.

Lies of altruism—“] thought it would bebetter if she didn’t
know the truth”—are actually cases of lying to ourselves
to justify the lies we tell others.

“And that,” points out Bruce Jennings, “can be danger-
ous and self-deceptive.” Take the example my single
friends invariably cite: The guy who says, “I'll call you
tomorrow.”

“That’s the rationalization a man uses,” Jennings says.
“He tells himself, ‘I’m lying to protect her feelings,’ but in
fact, he’s doing it because it saves him a hassle.”

Of course, when we are lied to by someone from whom
we expect the truth, it can be particularly hurtful. In

daughter, Kate, overheard me tell the clerk she was three

Why does lying seem so much easier than telling th
truth? Doesn’t the intimacy of the relationship betwee
husbands and wives, parents and children, friends an
lovers, demand more in the way of honesty? Most of uv
would like to think so, yet for some reason we still act 2
though the repercussions of telling the truth are wors
than those of telling a lie.

“We lie because we don’t have the time, energy ¢
desire to really work through all the pain a close relatior
ship takes,” says Rose Marie Tong. “It takes a speciz
kind of courage to strip through the layers that obstruct)
relationship. People take the easy way out.

“Also, in this competitive culture, many people fei
forced to lie about their achievements,” she continue’
“They bolster themselves because they think that
people truly knew who they were, they’d be disappointed.

So what can we do? For starters, we need to be willin
to accept the truth from others if we want others to k
truthful with us. That means instilling and reinforcing
value system in which the rewards for truth telling ar
greater than the punishment for lying. |

We also need to disavow the notion that since mo)
things in life are relative, so is the truth.

In the end, lying does something to us as people; w
become so masked we don’t know who we really ar
Sometimes, dropping that mask takes more than a litt,
effort. So if you can’t summon up the courage to tell th
whole truth and nothing but the truth, at least start wit
a half truth and work your way up from there. |

ing lovelife? Here’s everything you need to know to put

Do ou long for a hap-
prer and more fulfill-

passion and sensuality back in your marriage. In the

process, you and your mate can make sex better than ever!

uring seventeen years as a practicing sex therapist, | have been asked

thousands of questions about sex. That’s partly because communicating

about sex can be very difficult; saying “I like this” or “Please don’t do
that” makes many people acutely uncomfortable. Therefore, most of us keep
our sexual wants and needs secret. Sometimes, we don’t even know ourselves
how to achieve sexual satisfaction. Some of the most frequently asked
questions are listed below. In my answers | have been frank and explicit
about the techniques sex therapists use to help women and men conquer
sexual difficulties. An astonishing number of people are unable to deal
comfortably with the physiology of sex. Yet part of improving one’s sex life is
learning to be forthright about one’s needs. Husbands and wives can improve
their sex lives by sharing without embarrassment both physical and emotional
intimacy. The techniques | suggest have enriched many marriages.

Dr. Dagmar O'Connor is director of the sex-therapy clinic at St. Luke’s/Roosevelt
Hospital Center, in New York City. She is also the author of How to Put the Love
Back Info Making Love (Doubleday, 1989) and How to Make Love to the Same
Person for the Rest of Your Life (Doubleday, 1985).

I've never had an orgasm.

What can | do to
have one?

About 10 percent of all women
report never having had an or-
gasm. However, one of every
six women I see discovers, af-
ter sex therapy, that they've always
had orgasms—they just never recog-
nized them! Either way, the first step
toward increasing sexual pleasure is
to take responsibility for your own
arousal. Sex therapists agree that it’s
very important to familiarize your-
self with your own feelings through
self-stimulation. Get comfortable—
perhaps in a hot, relaxing bath—and
caress your entire body, including
the clitoral area. Try to stimulate
yourself without expecting to have
any feelings at all at first. If you’re
not used to touching yourself, you
must get used to the sensations.
Conscious or unconscious anxiety
about sex can also inhibit pleasure.
If you feel uncomfortable, you may
find yourself thinking about other
things: unpaid bills or chores, for
example. When this happens, you
may find yourself turning off sexual-
ly. Each time your mind wanders,
mentally pull yourself back into the
situation and arousal will increase.
You might find it helpful to read
the book For Yourself, by Lonnie G.
Barbach (Doubleday, 1975). Many
hospitals also run self-help groups
for pre-orgasmic women; they have
an 80 to 90 percent success rate.

I'm able to have an orgasm only
during ora! sex or masturbation.
What can | do to reach climax
during intercourse?

Some women believe stimulat-
ing the clitoris is ¢! I ay
they can climax. No
you want to, you can be:
more flexible. At St. Luke’s Hospi
74

tal, we suggest the following tech-
nique for women who have this
problem: Insert one or two fingers in
the vagina and at the same time stim-
ulate yourself a quarter of an inch
below the clitoris. It may take many
tries before you finally have an or-
gasm this way, and at first, the or-
gasm may not feel very strong. But
this only reflects ambivalence about
changing your ways.

Once you learn to have an orgasm
in this way on your own, try having
intercourse in the woman-on-top po-
sition. Many women find it easier to
climax this way because they have
more control and freedom of move-
ment.

Some women’s orgasmic respons-
es are blocked by suppressed feel-
ings—such as anger or resentment
toward their mate. If you’re really
angry, you can go through the mo-
tions of sex without feeling a thing.
That’s because whenever we sup-
press one feeling, we suppress all
feelings. Therefore, you must learn
to verbalize angry feelings in a con-
structive, nonblaming way.

If you find yourself feeling angry
or resentful toward your husband
during sex—and yet you don’t want
to break the romantic mood—say
something like, “‘Honey, I need to
lie still for a few minutes.’’ Then
silently think about how angry you
are. Spend some time feeling those
negative feelings as strongly as you
can. Very often, after this exercise,
they will diminish and sexual plea-
sure may increase.

When my husband has a few
drinks, he invariably wants sex.
He rarely has trouble getting an
erection, but he doesn”

ejaculate. | get uncomfortable »
and tired after a while, but —
when | want to stop he gets —

angry. He ejaculates normally

when he’s sober, but I’m gettin
turned off to sex even then.
What can we do?

Many people overcome sexual
inhibitions with alcohol or
drugs, but if he’s so high he

can’t ejaculate, you need out-

side help. While many people think

on to orgasm.

they’re more interested in sex while
they’re high, alcohol—and other
drugs—actually dulls responsiveness.
If your husband is unwilling to get
counseling or join Alcoholics Anon-
ymous, I suggest you go to Al-Anon,
a program for family members of
alcoholics. (Check your phone book
for local listings.)

In the meantime, try to get as
much sexual satisfaction for yourself
as you can. It’s perfectly okay to say
you'll have sex only when he’s so-
ber; doing this could also help him
by making him aware that he has a
real problem.

My husband is a real go-getter.
He’s also a loving husband and
father. The only problem is,
when we make love, | can’t
have an orgasm fast enough to
please him. As a result, |

often feel frustrated after sex.
Any advice?

Your husband sounds like
someone who’s good at reach-

ing goals very fast but has
trouble slowing down long
enough to enjoy the process. This
pattern is typical of people who have
difficulty with arousal; being*sexual-
ly turned on makes them feel anx-
ious and vulnerable, and they deal
with their discomfort by trying to get
sex over with as quickly as possible.
The best way for your husband to
deal with this is to slow down by
using a technique sex therapists of-
ten recommend to men who ejacu-
late quickly: He needs to stimulate
himself just until he achieves an

to finish things off. (continued)

MENTHOL

SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Quitting Smoking
Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health.

———

NVM

My husband is a macho

guy who thinks he knows
everything—especially when it
comes to sex. How can | get him
to try something new in bed
without threatening his
masculinity?

You don’t threaten his mascu-
linity, he feels insecure. Al-
though you can’t force your
partner to do things he doesn’t
want to do, you can figure out what
you want and need when it comes to
sex. Once you know this—and feel
entitled to sexual pleasure—negotia-
tion becomes very important.

For example, if you want to try a
new position and he refuses, don’t
give up. You know your partner’s
personality; there are lots of nice
ways to persuade him to do the
things you want him to do. You
might offer to do something he espe-
cially likes in bed, or you can even
offer a playful trade like “‘I’ll pick
up your shirts at the laundry if you’ll
give me twenty minutes of fore-
play.’’ I tell my patients never to be
embarrassed by making this kind of
swap; being able to bargain with
your partner for what you want indi-
cates you feel very secure in your
relationship and in yourself.

My husband is always buying me
black underwear, stiletto heels
and other crazy things. He wants
me to dress up and parade
around, which makes me feel
cheap. Shouldn't he be able to
get turned on without props?

Yes, he should. But there are

two things going on here: He
wants to relate sexually to a
woman who looks like a ‘‘bad

girl,’’ and you have a lem with
looking like a bad girl. Let’s start by
looking at your end of the situation:
Why is it so difficult for you to play

va

his game at least a little bit?

At the same time, he should think
about why it’s so difficult for him to
enjoy having sex with a woman he
views as a good girl. It may have to
do with his childhood. For example,
when parents are too seductive or
just too emotionally dependent on
their children, sexual conflict may
develop. In your husband’s case, it
may be that having sex with a wom-
an who resembles Mom—that is, a
woman he views as good and virtu-
ous—feels very threatening. He may
need therapy to work through such
feelings. In the meantime, if you
can meet him halfway by dress-
ing the way he likes occasionally,
your sex life will probably improve.
A little bit of game playing makes
sex more exciting for many couples!

My husband confessed to me
that he had an extramarital
affair. | don’t want to end my
marriage, but | refuse to sleep
with him until he gets an AIDS
test. Now he’s angry at me. |
have to stick to my guns on this
issue, don’t |?

It seems there’s a lot of unre-
solved anger—yours and his—
in this relationship. An extra-
marital affair often serves to
displace tension in a relationship by
making a triangle out of it. In most
cases, both parties are responsible.
Your demand that your husband
take an AIDS test may be an indica-
tion of rage, but it’s also a realistic
concern. Your husband has had sex
with someone else, and you know
nothing about this woman’s lifestyle.
Therefore, I believe he should com-
ply with this request. |
I suggest you and your husba:
seek counseling together to get past
the anger that remains on both sides.

| love my husband but can’t
bring myself to perform oral sex
on him. Is he asking too much—
or am | a prude?

Lots of women—and men—
have reservations about oral
sex. Often that’s because they
view semen as a body waste,

and body wastes are considered
dirty. Actually, semen is very
clean—much cleaner than the mouth
itself. Other women avoid oral sex
because they don’t feel they’re in
control of the situation.

If you are in a committed and mo-
nogamous relationship and want to
learn to enjoy oral sex, you must
first decide to do it because you want
to grow sexually, not just to please
your partner.

Next, ease into the activity. In my
practice, I suggest this strategy: Dur-
ing the first few sessions, try giving
your husband a little oral stimulation
as part of foreplay. Next, as you
continue sex, practice holding his
penis at the base so you'll have con-
trol over whatever thrusting move-
ments he makes. Third, tell him
when you want him to stop, or ask
him to stop before he ejaculates if
you prefer. Many women find that
they feel much more comfortable
about oral sex when they have
some control.

My husband loves to caress my
breasts, but | don’t enjoy

it at all. Is something wrong
with me?

Many women don’t feel any-
thing when their breasts are
touched. On the other hand,
lots of women experience im-
mense pleasure—and even reach or-
gasm—through breast stimulation.
You can develop numbness—or a
high degree of sensitivity—in any
part of your body.

One problem is that many men
grab or stimulate the nipples too
harshly. Some are also unaware that
women’s breasts may swell and be-

»-come extra sensitive during the men-

strual period. For this reason, when
your husband caresses your breasts,
I suggest you put your hand over his
to show him exactly how you like to
be touched. This will make you feel
yo re in control. You do have the
right to ask your partner to touch
your body in a way that pleases
you. Then you can work on_ the
experience together—which iS,
after all, what good sex is really
all about! @

with your former mentor, ‘’stop acting like a protégé,” says Collins. ‘For
example, instead of bringing her the first draft of a report, send the final draft.”

doctors mis

kids’ diseases

Yes, doctors can misdiagnose
illnesses—especially when a child

as not able to say exactly where tt hurts. Here’s what you

must know to help your physician find out what's wrong

Each year, children and their parents pay more than 100
million visits to the nation’s doctors. Faced with a sick child,
physicians must often make a fast, accurate diagnosis. Some-
times, however, they can't. “Misdiagnosis in children is a very
important problem,” says Donald W. Schiff, M.D., president of
the American Academy of Pediatrics. The reason: Young pa-
tients have few immunological reserves, so when illness
strikes, a youngster can go from being mildly to extremely ill
much more quickly than an adult.

Many factors can complicate the diagnosing of children.
First, kids’ symptoms may not be clearly defined, especially in
the early stages of a disease. Second, for many childhood
diseases there are no conclusive diagnostic tests. And a doctor
simply may not recognize a disease that has only recently
been identified. (See page 82 for warning signs you can spot.)

We asked top doctors which children’s illnesses are most
often missed or misdiagnosed. While you should be alert to
the problems listed below whatever your child’s age, some are
more likely to strike infants while others tend to develop in
older children. They are grouped accordingly.

BIRTH TO AGE FOUR
mw Sturge-Weber syndrome

Although birthmarks are usually harmless, doctors have
recently discovered that a certain type of birthmark that
appears on the face—called a port-wine stain—can, if it
occurs on the upper eyelid, block the normal flow of
fluids within the eye, causing a painful buildup of pressure
that can ultimately destroy the optic nerve.

This condition, known as Sturge-We-
ber syndrome, occurs in less than 1 per- B
cent of newborns. Babies born at small \
community hospitals or at home have a ALTAR
higher risk of developing complications
from the disorder, since the condition AEE
may not be promptly identified and treat-
ed. The primary symptom to watch for is a flat, purplish-red
port-wine stain that covers either the upper eyelid or the
upper and lower lid of one eye, says Paul J. (continued)

at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Infants born with the
telltale stain should be tested and, if necessary, treated for
glaucoma. Treatment involves a surgical procedure known
as iridectomy to drain excess fluid and prevent loss of vision.

mi Chlamydia pneumonia

First reported in Washington State in the mid-1980s, this
disease is a common type of pneumonia in babies who are
two to twelve weeks old. Pneumonia develops when the
chlamydia organism infects the lower respiratory tract. Ba-
bies born to mothers with the venereal disease chlamydia
can pick up the organism in the birth canal. Very rarely, for
reasons that aren’t yet known, children of unaffected moth-
ers can also contract the disease.

Chlamydia pneumonia is tough to diagnose because symp-
toms mimic those of viral pneumonia—barking cough, low-
grade fever and raspy breathing. Although there are blood
tests that can spot chlamydia antibodies, they aren‘t com-
pletely reliable.

Antibiotics will cure the chlamydia pneumonia; left un-
treated, it can be fatal.

lm Kawasaki disease

Each year, about three hundred fifty cases of Kawasaki
disease are reported in the U.S., though doctors say the
actual incidence of the disorder is probably much higher. The
condition—named for Japanese physician Tomisaku Kawasa-
ki, who first identified it in 1967—mainly affects children
under age four. Kawasaki disease is often misdiagnosed
because initial symptoms— including fever, red eyes and
enlarged lymph nodes—are similar to those of scarlet fever,
viral infection, measles and toxic shock syndrome.

The difference between Kawasaki disease and these in-
fectious diseases is that the symptoms persist for more than
a few days.

Scientists don’t yet know what causes Kawasaki disease,
which primarily attacks the cardiovascular system. Untreat-
ed, it can seriously damage the coronary arteries. The
disease can be fatal. A special blood test—called an eryth-
rocyte sedimentation rate test—helps substantiate the diag-
nosis. Once Kawasaki disease is diagnosed, sufferers are
treated with high-dose aspirin and gamma globulin therapy
to reduce the risk of coronary artery damage.

AGES FIVE TO TEN
mi Rheumatic fever

This disease most commonly affects kids age five to nine.

Once on the wane, rheumatic fever is now staging a come-
back for reasons doctors don’t understand. In the past few
years isolated outbreaks have been reported in several
states, including Pennsylvania, Missouri and Ohio. In 1985
and 1986, 107 cases of rheumatic fever were reported in
Utah. Rheumatic fever, which often starts with a strep
throat, can be one of the most difficult children’s illnesses to
diagnose, say doctors. That's because its classic symp-
toms—heart murmur, joint pain, skin rash and chorea (jer-
ky, uncontrollable body movements}—are all symptomatic of
other diseases, including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and
congenital heart problems. Swollen nodules, most commonly
at the elbow, are also a sign.

Blood tests and an EKG—along with symptoms—help
confirm a diagnosis. However, the disease has been so rare
until recently that newly trained doctors may never have
seen a single case. (continued)

HOW PARENTS CAN HELP

If your child is not feeling well, follow this procedure:
Wi Take her temperature. If your child is six
months or younger and has a temperature over 100
degrees F., call the doctor; if she’s older than six
months, call if it’s 101 degrees F. or higher.
Mi Count the breaths your child takes per minute—a
count is one inhalation and exhalation. Sixty breaths
per minute is normal for a newborn; 50 for a one-year-
old; 40 for a two-year-old; 24 for children six and over.
Rapid, noisy or labored breathing may signal
pneumonia, asthma or other respiratory illnesses.
Ml Note the color, consistency and frequency of your
child’s bowel movements. Streaks of blood or an
unusual odor may indicate a serious infection or
‘inflammation in the digestive tract or intestines.
Hi Watch for repeated episodes of vomiting. A baby
who vomits more than once a day may have a
digestive tract infection. Frequent vomiting can
suggest serious problems, especially if the baby is also
lethargic or feverish. In older children, recurrent
vomiting may be a sign of serious conditions.
ll Be alert to appetite and appearance changes.
Appetite loss can be a sign of illness, especially if
other symptoms are also present. Paleness may mean
anemia; a yellowish skim may indicate jaundice.
ll Ask when the pain started, where, and how often
it hurts. In preverbal children, persistent crying may
indicate an infectious disease or gastrointestinal illness.
The more specific information you give the doctor,
the better. Your report will help the physician decide
whether she needs to see your child immediately, or
whether you should takehim to the emergency room
or simply put him to bed and watch for any changes.
Two helpful medical reference books on children’s
health are Children: How to Evaluate Their Symptoms,
by the American Medical Association (Random House,
Inc., 1986), and Taking Care of Your Child by Drs.
Robert H. Pantell, James F. Fries and Donald M.
Vickery (Addison-Wesley, 1986).

Untreated, rheumatic fever can
damage joints, connective tissue and,
most critically, the heart. Early treat-
ment with steroids and aspirin can
lead to complete recovery.

AGES TEN TO FIFTEEN
Slipped epiphysis

This problem affects about one out of
every two thousand youngsters. It’s
most common among preteen and ad-
olescent boys, though it can strike
girls, too. Most victims are overweight.

Slipped epiphysis occurs when the
“growth plate,” or epiphysis, at the up-
per end of the thighbone slips from its
normal position. No one knows what
causes this to occur, but the result is a
noticeable limp, with hip or knee pain,
which may develop slowly or strike
suddenly. If the pain occurs at the
knee, it’s often misdiagnosed as a knee
problem, according to Carl L. Stan-
itski, M.D., clinical associate professor
of orthopedics at the University of
Pittsburgh. “In children, knee pain
should be considered hip pain until
proven otherwise,” he says.

A physical exam and X-ray aid diag-
nosis; surgery to reposition the growth
plate is performed in severe cases. In
most children, a slipped epiphysis can
be corrected by taking weight off the
affected leg by using crutches, which
gives the leg a chance to reposition
itself. Left uncorrected, the condition
causes bone damage and arthritis.

li Reye syndrome

Although Reye syndrome is not as
common today as it was a few years
ago, more than one hundred cases are
documented annually. And some ex-
perts believe more episodes are unde-
tected or unreported. About one third
of all victims die. Most victims are age
six to twelve, though it strikes younger
and older children as well. This dis-
ease may still be misdiagnosed as
stomach flu, meningitis, diabetes or
even poisoning.

A fast-acting disease, Reye syn-
drome attacks the brain and liver.
Early symptoms include listlessness
and vomiting. Therefore, if your child
vomits repeatedly, don’t accept a diag-
nosis of stomach flu until Reye syn-
drome or other more serious disorders
are ruled out, advises John C. Partin,

S system.

Juvenile rheumatoid
hritis (JRA)

otentially devastating chronic dis-

ease that affects an estimated two to
nine out of every 100,000 children
from birth through age seventeen, JRA
can be confused in the early stages with
a number of disorders, including rheu-
matic fever and Lyme disease. The
main symptoms include joint pain and
swelling. Lab tests are not definitive,
so doctors usually can’t make an accu-
rate diagnosis until they've excluded
other possible causes—which may take
several weeks.

There are three forms of JRA, ex-
plains Kenneth M. Boyer, M.D., direc-
tor of pediatric infectious diseases at
Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical
Center, in Chicago. Polyarticular JRA
is the most common form; it affects
five or more joints and is the easiest
type to diagnose. Pauciarticular JRA,
on the other hand, attacks four or few-
er joints, and when just one or two are
affected, doctors may mistakenly attri-
bute discomfort to trauma or injury.
Systemic JRA, also known as Still’s
disease, is a generalized form of the
illness that affects various internal or-
gans and other body parts. Because
there is no joint involvement, it is the
hardest of the three forms to accurate-
ly diagnose.

While no one knows what causes
JRA and there is still no cure, it can be
controlled. Though several anti-in-

i Sinusitis

This disorder is often dismissed as just a
cold or misdiagnosed as asthma or aller-
gies. However, up to 5 percent of all
children two to eighteen with colds de-
velop this bacterial sinus infection.

In most children, says Ellen R.
Wald, M.D., associate professor of pedi-
atrics at Children’s Hospital in Pitts-
burgh, the only signs of sinusitis are
clear nasal discharge and a very per-
sistent, round-the-clock cough. Some
children also develop a high fever and
thicker, opaque nasal discharge.

Although X-rays are helpful, an ac-
curate patient history is the best tool
for diagnosing sinusitis. “It’s useful if
parents can say whether the child has
had a succession of minor colds or is
suffering from what seems to be one
very long cold,” says Wald.

Antibiotics are used to treat sinus-
itis; if untreated, the symptoms may
be very persistent and the condition
can cause eye infections. Ultimately,
infection may spread through the mu-
cous membrane of the sinus to the
brain. Serious complications, including
brain abscesses, have occasionally
been known to develop as a result.

oes your metabolism seem to slow down with every passing birthday, making it

you burn calories harder than ever to lose those extra pounds? As director of the Hilton Head Health

’ can't stop the pounds from creeping up on them. My new plan actually stimulates the
won t fe el body’s natural ability to burn fat by encouraging it to develop a “younger” metabolic

depri ved / rate. The New Hilton Head Diet helps you lose weight, six to ten pounds in two weeks,

and change your body chemistry at the same time.

shifting into a higher gear and using calories at a much greater
rate. I'll show you how to rejuvenate your sluggish metabolism so iy)

it’s as vital and efficient as a teenager's. os ea M Het

What follows are the four major principles of the program plus
a two-week menu plan; but before beginning this or any other Ph p
weight-loss program, always remember to consult your doctor.

The four | YOU MUST EAT FOUR TO FIVE TIMES A DAY

Sound too good to be true? In fact, these frequent meals are the secret to revitalizing your
big fat-burning engine. It’s the unhealthy habit of skipping meals that suppresses your

metabolism. When your body has nothing to burn, the metabolic furnace never has a
hurners chance to get fired up. However, if you eat moderate but frequent meals throughout the

day, you keep your system going in high gear.

To take advantage of this bodily reaction to food, the New Hilton Head Diet provides you
with three main meals each day plus a special new feature—the Metabo-meal, which
provides enough food to keep your body burning without overloading it with calories. You
get one Metabo-meal on weekdays and two on weekends.

YOU MUST EAT MORE CALORIES ON WEEKENDS

When you lower your caloric intake in
order to lose weight, your metabolism
has a tendency to slow down. So just
when you are trying to burn more
calories, your body starts to burn fewer.
That's because a survival alarm has

gone off: Your body literally tries to
save your life by conserving energy, by slowing down your metabolic
processes. This is why on past regimens you may have found that you
lost a lot of weight in the first two weeks, then reached a plateau.

The good news is that your metabolic rate is stimulated when
calories are increased, so you counteract metabolic decline with

the Booster Weekend, which provides three hundred more calories
and one extra meal. These extra calories are just enough to boost your
metabolic rate without causing your weight loss to slow down. Also, it’s
nice to have extra flexibility on the weekend, when you need it most.

YOU MUST EAT MOSTLY
CARBOHYDRATES

The complex carbohydrates
found in grain-based foods
(cereal and bread), starches
(potatoes and pasta),
vegetables and fruit
constitute the best fuel for
your metabolism. The
automatic conservation of
calories in response to
dieting is much less
pronounced on a regimen of
complex carbohydrates.
Also, they help preserve
muscle tissue, which is often
lost along with fat when you
lose weight. Of course, the
other food groups are also
essential to a well-balanced
diet. The proportion of
carbohydrates, protein and
fat has been specially
formulated to provide the
optimum metabolic fuel mix:
60 percent complex
carbohydrates, 15 percent
protein, 25 percent fat. You
won't have to bother
calculating calories and
percentages, as the menus
provide you with the exact
combination of nutrients
your body needs. Follow the
Hilton Head menu plan,
and you'll maximize your
metabolism.

YOU MUST EXERCISE AFTER MEALS

The final component
essential to the New Hilton
Head Diet is the thermal
walk. You must take two
moderately paced thermal
walks a day after meals. This
rule challenges a long-
standing taboo about not
exercising after eating. While
it’s true that strenuous
exercise after a large meal is
not good for you, a
reasonable amount of
exercise after a small to
moderate meal is not at all
harmful—in fact, it’s
beneficial to your
metabolism. Researchers
have found that exercising
after a meal burns more

Weekends, one of the Metabo-meals

| recommend two thermal walks a day, the first after breakfast
for forty minutes and the second after any other meal for twenty
minutes. Start out slowly, but make it a goal to reach a pace of one
mile in fifteen to twenty minutes. While this may seem like a lot of
time out of your busy schedule, these thermal walks will stimulate
metabolic activity and burn more calories than any exercise you've
ever done before. Also, this low-impact exercise plan will build
muscle. Increased lean muscle tissue not only makes you look
sleeker and healthier, but also it uses many more calories than fat.

Now that you understand the basic rules of the New Hilton
Head Diet, keep the guidelines above in mind before you start
the program. The menus for two weeks begin on page 93. If you
wish to stay on the diet for a longer period of time, simply repeat
the two-week cycle until you’ve reached your ideal weight.

poultry, eggs and fish, which

WEEKEND BLUES

| always look forward to the weekends, but
they never live up to my expectations. The kids
usually fight, and we have so many chores to
get done that by Monday I’m exhausted. How
can we make our weekends happier?

For many of us, weekends are not

the fun family times that we think

they will be, especially if we have a

number of chores to do. However,

you can make your weekends

more pleasurable by structuring

your time differently. During the

middle of each week, decide

with your husband which tasks have to be

done that weekend, then divide them up

among family members. To keep the kids

from fighting, consider separating them for a

while—ask one child to help you with a par-

ticular chore, another to help your husband.

But don’t try to do too many things in one

weekend. Each family member needs plenty
of free time as well.

To help reduce your weekend stress, sched-
ule some private time for yourself. Set aside
one hour a day to do whatever you like,
whether it’s working in the garden or taking
a walk. By taking time to relax you'll be a
better organizer and delegator, you'll get
more done and you won't feel so exhausted.

CHEATING HUSBAND

Recently | saw a friend’s husband holding
hands with another woman at a restaurant.
I'm tom about what to do—I feel my friend
has the right to know what's going on, but |
dread telling her. What do you advise?

As youre aware, this is a very deli-
cate situation. Although there are
several things you can do, only you
can decide which solution is best,
since each has potentially nega-
tive consequences. For example,
if you tell your friend what you
saw, it will probably hurt her

deeply, and may even put your friendship at
risk. If her husband denies everything, she
may blame you for causing problems.

A second option is to say nothing. This
saves you from hurting your friend, but you
may be left wondering how you would feel if

she kept such information from you. Finally,
you could speak to your friend’s husband, tell-
ing him what y< iw at the restaurant. Real-
ize though that he may get angry at you for
interfering in his private business and may
even start bad-mouthing you to his wife.

a slap of thee tongue

If you've ever said something like, ‘I have to put on my feet,’’ instead of
shoes, or ‘“'I'll get the foons and sporks,’’ when you meant the spoons and
forks, you may have worried that your mind was slowing down. Relax. You're
probably suffering from a simple case of paraphasic error, a perfectly normal
condition in which words and sounds get mixed up.

Although paraphasic errors sometimes occur for no reason at all, they
usually happen when a person is nervous, overtired or excited, says E.
Prather Palmer, M.D., a neurologist at Lahey Clinic Medical Center, in
Burlington, Massachusetts. These slips of the tongue can also happen when
we're indecisive over the choice or sequence of words to use or when we
aren't paying attention to what we're saying, as when our minds are already
racing ahead to another subject.

These errors are nothing to worry about as long as they happen only
occasionally and the person can recognize his mistake, explains Dr. Palmer.
When you make a paraphasic error, he says, simply explain what you
intended to say and laugh off the mistake.

AFRAID OF SOCIALIZING

Lately I've been dreading social situations. I’m
afraid | won't have anything fo say or that I'll
make some kind of blunder. Why do | feel so
out of my league in these kinds of settings,
and what can | do to feel more confident?

There may be several reasons for

your fears. For example, you may

be suffering from low self-esteem,

feeling that everyone else at social

gatherings is more important and

more poised than you are. Or

perhaps you feel there is so much

at stake at certain parties

that if you make a blunder, the consequences

will be serious. Finally, you may not be com-

fortable making small talk. Whatever the rea-

son, once you start fretting that the situation

may not go well, you'll often start to believe
it, causing your insecurities to grow.

When you're having doubts about your self-
esteem, the worst thing you can do is avoid
the situation causing the problems. Even if
it’s very hard for you, go to the social events
to which you are invited. Make sure you have
plenty of things to talk about, and have a few
opening lines ready. Second, give yourself a
time limit for staying—this gives you a com-
fortable out and allows you to feel more in
control. Finally, be careful not to drink too
much. By following these guidelines, your
anxiety should gradually diminish.

Hollywood hunks

t first glance, there’s nothing extraordinary about

Dennis Quaid. With his tousled brown hair,

clean-cut looks and lean but muscular physique,

he could be the guy next door—if you were

pretty lucky. In fact, Quaid had virtually faded

into the Hollywoodwork as a competent ensemble actor

prior to the 1987 romantic thriller The Big Easy. But

his role in the film as a cocky, Cajun-accented New

Orleans cop armed with a warrant to seduce red-hot

Ellen Barkin finally made him a star. It showcased

something that’s quintessentially Quaid: a wide, boyish
smile that utterly disarms legions of women.

And once the thirty-four-year-old Quaid charmed his
way through two other movies—Suspect, opposite
Cher, and the suspense film D.O.A.—his just-another-
face-in-the-crowd period was gone for good. In the
recent Everybody's All-American, he starred as a
washed-up pro football player with a glorious past,
who’s married to his college sweetheart (Jessica

Lange). And in the

muscle to the to: Quaid, who, like
. Lewis, has energy to
big screen burn. Everybody’s All-
American was Quaid’s
fifth movie in two years—a pace that left him little
time for his girlfriend, actress Meg Ryan, whom he
met on the set of /nnerspace and later worked with in
D.O.A. Not bad for a Houston native who says he
chose acting as a career. because ‘‘the drama room was
the only air-conditioned place at my high school.”’
But there was another reason Quaid chose the stage.
Because he was too skinny for football and most other
sports (his normal weight today is a sinewy 160
pounds), acting became an outlet for him. He got his
start in show business at fifteen, performing stand-up
comedy in his uncle’s Houston nightclub. Inspired by
the film success of his older brother, Randy, who’d
received an Academy Award nomination in 1973 for
The Last Detail, Dennis dropped out of college and
moved to Los Angeles—where he spent several years
calling casting directors and taking small parts in minor
films before snaring a supporting role in 1979’s popular
coming-of-age movie, Breaking Away. (continued)

(continued) A flood of offers followed, and

Quaid soon found himself in a number of forget-

western that allowed Dennis and Randy to play

brothers in reel life. Then, in 1983, a memorable

supporting role as astronaut Gordon Cooper in the

critically praised The Right Stuff promised to
shoot him to the top, but the movie barely made a dent
at the box office. The release of the calamitous Jaws 3-
D that same year compelled Quaid to choose his scripts
more carefully. ‘‘I asked myself, ‘Why am I an ac-
tor?’ ’’ he says in retrospect.

Despite the failures, which included the end of his
five-year marriage to actress P.J. Soles (best known for
her small roles in Halloween and Stripes), the easygo-
ing Quaid has retained his positive outlook and re-
mained a solid professional, preparing meticulously for
every part. He earned a pilot’s license before filming
The Right Stuff and spent a month accompanying New
Orleans police officers on homicide investigations for
The Big Easy. And for Everybody's All-American, he
worked out with pro football players, adding thirty
pounds of muscle to his slender frame. ‘*I never imag-
ined how brutal football really is,’’ says Quaid, who
suffered a broken collarbone on the field while filming
one particularly rough sequence. “Fingers twisted or
something stepped on—there’s pain on every play.”’

Staying true to form, Quaid quickly shed the weight
he gained for Everybody's All-American to prepare for
the energetic stage work required for Great Balls of
Fire. Under the guidance of Jerry Lee Lewis (who is
now fifty-three), the actor has spent several months
studying piano and polishing his performance style.
But Quaid is no stranger to music: A songwriter since
the age of thirteen, he has written songs for three of his
movies and plays guitar in a rock-and-roll band called

the Eclectics, which performs in small clubs around
the country. ‘“‘Lewis is going
to be an interesting character to

ve
mle table films like Caveman and Gorp. Things began
oe to look up a bit with The Long Riders, a 1980

play,’’ says Quaid, who lives in
the Hollywood Hills near broth-
er Randy. “‘I’ve got to capture

that fire he’s got.”’
If he succeeds, Quaid may
well ignite a box-office blaze.

Kevin Costner:
major-league star

e’s appeared in just a few major films, but Kevin

Costner is already something of an American

classic. With his blue-gray eyes, graceful athlet-

icism and quiet strength, Costner emits some of

the same on-screen charisma as Gary Cooper or
Henry Fonda. And as if that weren’t enough, he’s got
guts, too. Whether scrambling across a rooftop in The
Untouchables or tumbling across the hood of a moving
car in No Way Out, Costner is willing to take the kinds
of chances that would send most leading men scurrying
to the safety of their dressing rooms.

He’s taking yet another risk this spring with his latest
movie, Shoeless Joe.A in his last film,Bull Durham,
the backdrop is baseball. But there the similarities end.
In Shoeless Joe, Costner plays an lowa farmer who’s
inspired by a vision that a legendary ballplayer will
return to life if he builds a baseball diamond in a
cornfield. ‘‘The character is kind of like Jimmy Stewart
in [t’s a Wonderful Life,’’ Costner explains, adding that
the script is ‘‘magical. Guys, if you’re afraid to cry in
front of your girlfriend, don’t see this.”’

This I-dare-you attitude is typical of the (continued)

(continued) fiercely independent thirty-four-year-

old actor, who refuses to hire an agent or pub-
licist. “‘I read every script that’s sent to me,”’
he says, ‘‘and I make my own decisions.”’

Costner’s first big career decision came in
1978, shortly after he graduated from California
State University at Fullerton, with a degree in
marketing and finance. He was only thirty days
into his first sales job when he decided that drama was
calling, as it had in several plays during his senior year.
“I didn’t have a focus, a love of life,’’ Costner says.
**I started listening to my inner voice.”’

That voice told Costner to move to Hollywood,
where he joined an acting workshop. In 1981, he met
screenwriter-director Lawrence Kasdan, who was im-
pressed enough to hire him for the role of Alex—the
suicide victim in The Big Chill. Although Costner’s
scenes were snipped from the finished film, they led to
a substantial part in Kasdan’s 1985 western, Silverado.
And while that film wasn’t a box-office smash, it
cleared the way for the roles that made Costner a major
player: renowned G-man Eliot Ness in The Untouch-
ables and the secretive Navy officer Tom Farrell in No
Way Out. “When 1 act; I ‘like: to cet. out..of
control,’’ Costner says of his critically acclaimed per-
formances. “‘Whomever | play, I enter his world.”’

In his own world, Costner seems to be devoted to his
wife, Cindy, and their three children—Annie, four,
Lily, two, and Joe, almost one. He avoids Hollywood
social circles, preferring fishing trips with his family in
the Sierra Mountains. ‘‘I get plenty of invites to par-
ties, but I don’t go very often,’’ Costner says, laugh-
ing. “‘It’s tough getting a baby-sitter, man!”’

Finding time for leisure could become even tougher
for the busy Costner. Later this year, he will star as a
Vietnam veteran who has an affair with his best
friend’s wife in the adventure drama Revenge. His
other role in that film—executive producer—may
lead him to his
next risky step: di-
recting. “‘I have

Patrick
Swayze
drives @
crazy

ome phenomenon, this Patrick Swayze. Before Dirty
Dancing steamed up the nation’s movie screens, few
predicted that the film would succeed, much less
establish a big star. Yet when Swayze's macho-but-
gentle Johnny Castle swept Jennifer Grey onto the
dance floor, millions of women in the audience went along for
the ride. The movie became one of the biggest hits of 1987.

Now Swayze, thirty-six, is bent on proving he’s more than a
brawny Baryshnikov or a Sly Stallone in tights. In his forthcoming
action drama, Road House, he's cast as a barroom bouncer with
a brain (the character holds a Ph.D. in philosophy). And in Next
of Kin, set for release this summer, he's a Chicago cop out to
avenge the death of his brother, slain by the mob.

Those roles are a far cry from his lady-killing dance king of
the Catskills. But Swayze is determined not to become
typecast. A singer and dancer since the age of six, Swayze
established his independence in high school, where he
excelled in sports and ballet. Deciding to stick with the latter,
he went to New York in 1972 to work with the Joffrey Ballet
and two other dance companies. But when an old high school
football injury threatened to cripple his left knee, he hung up
his ballet slippers and moved on to Hollywood—where he
landed a series of tough-guy roles in such films as The
Outsiders and Red Dawn. Not until Dirty Dancing, his ninth
movie, could the actor show his fancy footwork and position
himself as a romantic leading man. “It's amazing how one
movie can blow the lid off,” he says.

Swayze credits his wife of twelve years, actress and former
dancer Lisa Niemi (the two starred together in the futuristic
action flop Stee! Dawn), with helping him to maintain his
sensitive side. And despite the recurrent pain in his knee,
the dedicated actor still stays on his toes in his home’s
large mirrored dance studio. Says Swayze, “If you haven't done
the work and paid the ———
dues, you'll be a flash
in the pan.” —D.L.

source of her humor. Here’s a close-up
look at the self-proclaimed “domestic
goddess” who has risen from obscure
comedy stages in the biker bars of
Denver via the Tonight Show to be-
come TV’s queen-size comedy star.

When did you first realize you were
funny?

When I was about two years old. I got
my first laugh from my family. I liked
getting the laughs.

How did you make the transition from
Denver housewife and mother to stand-
up comedian?

Well, I was a cocktail waitress work-
ing in a bar, and I had these customers
who thought I was funny. One guy
would come in and we'd be rude to
each other and have a good laugh. One
night some of them said it was as
much fun to come down to the bar ev-
ery night after work as going to the
comedy club downtown. And I said,
“Comedy club?” Then they told me I
ought to work up an act and go to the
club. My customers gave me the idea.
They all went there with me, too.

How would you describe your brand of
comedy?

I think it’s real first-person comedy.
It’s my own thing, and it’s probably
different from any other comic’s. They
would say it’s in a different language. I
don’t like third-person comedy, which
is like that real removed observational,
passive kind of stuff where you talk
about everybody else. That kind of
comedy I think has a real mean edge to
it a lot of times. But first-person is
about you and your opinion of yourself,
and you can be mean and have an edge
or whatever, but people understand
that they’re also in on the joke.

Your act does seem to have a cutting
edge to it.

I think comedy is often a slap in the
face and a rude awakening for people.
It’s not like being lulled to sleep with
the jokes at the neighborhood market.
It’s a lot more than that.

Do we see a lot of the real Roseanne in

the show?

Oh, yeah. The truth is, the family on
this show is the one that’s in everyone’s
home. Everyone’s real family, I hope.

You're used to working onstage in front
of a live audience with your own mate-
rial. What's it like working with other

players and someone else’s material?
Well, first of all, I’m involved in writ-
ing every script, so I kind of keep it in

tare i yiae

a direction that would be like my a

A lot of it is ad-lib, too. We try to hal

or else it’s just a job, you know?

No. I would go and live on a farm very
far away from show business and have
a lot of horses and stuff like that. ’ma
real person and would like to return to
that someday.

How important is your weight to your
act?

If you’re saying would I be funny if I
was thin, yeah, I think I’d still be real
funny. I think I would have loved
Jackie Gleason no matter what he
weighed. I didn’t think he was great
because he was fat.

Yes, but wouldn't you say that Gleason

was sort of a put-down artist?

I didn’t see that. No way. I thought
The Honeymooners was about a couple
that really loved each other and he
was just a bigmouth. In the end, you
always knew they loved each other.
Ralph Kramden was just a passionate
man with a lot of bluster. That’s al-
ways been my favorite show. I hope
our shows have some things that we
kind of stole from them.

Who else do you think is funny?

Other comics make me laugh. I’m real-
ly a big comedy fan, and I like every-
body from Pee-Wee Herman to Jay
Leno to Whoopi Goldberg. Even Henny
Youngman cracks me up. Joan Rivers
is a real pioneer of women incomedy,

and I wish her good luck. I hope things
go better for her than they did this past

year. I think Eddie Murphy’s just the:

smartest guy in Hollywood. He really
is. I love him. And I think Richard
Pryor is the greatest stand-up comic
that ever lived. Maybe he’s going
through some rough times. I don’t
know. But nobody will be as good as he
was in his prime.

What about Robin Williams?

I was just talking about him the other
day. Sometimes I don’t get him. He’s
very frenetic, and sometimes that’s
hard for me to understand. I think he
would get on my nerves if I knew him.
I’d want to slap him after a while. I
wish he would just cut out the caffeine
or something. I don’t think me and
him could be friends.

What are your career goals in comedy?
I would like to make movies like
Woody Allen, and I would like to do
stand-up like Richard Pryor and
Whoopi Goldberg. And I would like to
be admired like Bob Hope and en-
shrined like Jackie Gleason. I want
everyone to like me but stay the hell
out of my way. a

and the Belmonts. But what about the parent of a teenager in love? When it
happens to your child, you, too, may be thrown for an emotional loop.
Sete a en finds herself with a different child, one who is even more
sees istracted and moody than usual,” notes Sirgay
Sanger, M.D., director of the Parent-Child Center at
St. Luke’s Hospital. “This can leave a mother feeling
estranged, out of control.” So how can you be the
understanding, supportive person you want to be and
, at the same time cope with your own feelings of
1 being left by the wayside? Some suggestions:

HM Remember the first time you fell head-over-heels for
someone, and don’t belittle your teenager's feelings.

WM If you're uncomfortable with your child’s discovery

YOUR CHILD'S TEETH row to get em to floss

Let's be honest: Though we all know how important daily flossing is in removing
cavity-producing plaque from teeth, most of us have a hard enough time
remembering to do it ourselves, let alone trying to get our kids to floss. Starting
early helps. According to New York City pediatric dentist David J. Levine, D.D.S.,
“The time to start flossing is when kids are about three or four, and the spaces
between the back molars are beginning to close.” What to do?
WM Sit in a chair or on the bed, and have your child lie with her head in your lap.
Hi Wrap a piece of floss (waxed or unwaxed is fine) around your middle fingers,
and gently pop it between the teeth. Move floss up and down two or three times.
Do this at least two or three times a week. MM By the time a child is seven, she
should be able to floss by herself. Check out kid-size floss holders, flavored floss.

| have a seven-year-old in the second grade, and the problem is

not her but some kids her age in the neighborhood. There’s a tight clique
of three or four girls who often taunt her: They tell her she’s not

the prettiest, she goes to a yucky school, she’s wearing an ugly dress,
whatever. Should | talk to them, to their moms or do nothing?

It doesn’t seem to bother her much, but it really upsets me.

y heart goes out to your daughter. Children this age have
a very strong need to belong. For some children, excluding
another child gives them a false sense of desirability and
importance. Although it may not have an immediate effect,
begin by explaining to your daughter the basis for this
kind of scapegoating.

Try to determine whether your daughter has contributed to their treatment
of her. | do not mean for you to “blame the victim,” but your daughter may
have inadvertently done something the others found to be offensive or
otherwise off-putting. Perhaps they see her as a snob or as being too proper.
lf there is evidence of this, help her to see it from their side and offer
suggestions for change. All of this must be in the context of complete loyalty
to your daughter and with the utmost in emotional support.

You might try disarming them by dividing the clique and winning over one
of the girls. Invite one to a really tempting event like a
trip to an amusement park or a movie. One would hope
that the other child would develop a relationship with

back my baby.

If all else fails, ask her if she wishes you to speak
with the girls or their parents. Be aware, though, that it
may backfire. They may spread the word that she is a “mamo’s girl.’
Incidentally, you should be alert to signs that your daughter, in turn, might
behave superciliously toward another child. It is not unusual to cope with
one’s own hurt feelings by trying to compensate in this way. >

occurred on January 28, 1986—

(continued) changed forever. She and her children
were alone.

After the accident, it became increasingly painful
for June to remain in Houston in the home she had
shared with Dick. “I was surrounded by memories, and
there was just too much sadness,” she says.

But since the tragedy, this quietly courageous wom-
an has begun to put her life back together. She has
suffered—and suffers still—_many moments of intense
loneliness, and there have been times when she was
not sure whether she wanted to go on living. Yet June,
forty-six, has endured, and she is now hard at work
raising money for the Challenger Space Centers, a
project that will teach generations of children about
her husband’s dream of exploring space.

At the time of the explosion, June was an associate
professor of special education at the University of
Houston at Clear Lake. Her twenty-six-year marriage

to Dick Scobee was fulfill-
ing, but sometimes stressful
as well. Dick had always
lived on the edge—as a pilot
in Vietnam, then as a test
pilot and eventually as an
astronaut. “Because of what
Dick did, we wrestled early
on with what life and death were all about—really
living life and giving it all you can,” says June. “But
no matter how many times you’ve considered the pos-
sibility, you’re never ready to lose someone you love.”

American romance

June met her future husband on a church hayride in
October 1958, when she was just sixteen, and Dick was
a nineteen-year-old airman stationed at Kelly Air
Force Base, in San Antonio, Texas. “Some people go on
a date and have a milk shake and a hamburger,” June
says. “On our first date, we studied the stars.”

They married the following July. Their first child,
Kathie, was born in 1961, and their son, Rich, in 1964.
Dick earned a degree in aerospace engineering, a com-
mission in 1965 and his pilot’s wings a year later. Fol-
lowing his service in Vietnam, June went to college. And
after she began teaching elementary school, her hus-
band was a frequent classroom guest, helping enthralled
kids test their science-project rockets.

That tranquil period lasted only a short time, how-

ver. In the early 1970s, Dick broke some unwelcome

ews to his wife. “He said he wanted to be a test pilot,”

June remembers. “I was frightened about his enter-
ing such a risky profession, and I told him so. ‘Besides,’
I said, ‘don’t those test pilots become astronauts?’

“Tll never forget how he laughed and said, ‘You don’t
have to worry about me; I’m too tall,’” June says.
“That was in the days when the compartments in the
spacecraft were so tiny.”

But in 1978, Dick was accepted into astronaut train-
ing, and the Scobees moved to Houston. Six years later,
Dick went on his first mission, as the pilot aboard a
Challenger flight. “When he finally came down, and I
could throw my arms around him, it was so wonderful,”
June says. “We were surrounded by spectators and re-
porters, and Dick pulled me aside and said, ‘Let’s escape.’
We went to the lounge at a hotel nearby. He looked at
me so intensely and said, ‘June, man was meant to be
out there. It’s what we have to do.’”

Less than two years later, Dick Scobee again
boarded the Challenger. This time,
he would not return.

June Scobee still finds it nearly
impossible to talk about that day.
“It’s still something [m working
through,” she adds softly, her eyes
filling with tears. “There was a
time when I couldn’t talk about
Dick at all. There was one period of
a couple of weeks when I was com-
pletely frozen. It was a living
death. Some neighbors took me
into their home to take care of me.
My children were both called. They
were concerned, but they were hurt-
ing, too. We were all hurting too
much to help each other.

“I began to read Shakespeare’s
tragedies. I wanted to see if Romeo
and Juliet were different. I wanted
to know,” June says, brushing-tears
from her eyes, “if I felt what Juliet felt when she took
the vial of poison to die alongside him.”

A slow recovery

During that desolate time, Jim Logan, a NASA physi-
cian and a close family friend, spent hours with June,
helping her through the darkest days of her life. “We'd
sit outside, and the sunshine began to warm me. He
talked me into living. I gradually became stronger and
stronger—emotionally, physically, mentally. I began to
feel that I wanted to make the most out of the rest of
my life.”

But she and the other Challenger families were
forced to confront the tragedy anew when the Chal-
lenger’s crew cabin was found in the Atlantic forty
days after the crash. On May 19, 1986, Dick Scobee
was buried in Arlington National Cemetery; it would
have been his forty-seventh birthday. “We’d once
talked about where we would be buried,” she says.
“Dick said, ‘It doesn’t matter. ’m just an ordinary
person.’ The kids and I told him that if anything hap-
pened, we wanted him at Arlington.”

But June did not want a headstone to be the only
memorial for her husband and the Challenger crew. In
the months following the crash, the seven families
decided to set up the Challenger Space Centers in
memory of the astronauts and their goals. June em-
barked on a $30 million crusade, cornering legislators
and millionaires in hopes of raising the money for a
series of centers that would teach children about space
through video and computer simulations. (continued)

(continued) “At first it was frightening,” she admits. “I
did it, though, and with a lot of perseverance, things
began to work.”

Today, the centers have almost half the funds they
need, and the first facility opened to rave reviews last
summer, in the Museum of Natural Science in
Houston.

“T felt so close to Dick when I saw the Houston
center completed, and a group of kids at the video
sets,” June says. “Children were so important to us,
and here they were, in a sense, completing his mission.
I think Dick and the others would be proud.”

As she slowly came to terms with her husband’s
death, June was also forced to assess blame for the
tragedy. A presidential commission found that the
Challenger explosion was due to a faulty part manu-
factured by Morton Thiokol, Inc., and declared
that there was a serious flaw in the decision-

making process at NASA.

“There were any number of reasons this accident
happened,” June says. She pauses, and when she con-
tinues she chooses her words carefully. “There was
not a healthy respect for the limits of technology, and
there was a breakdown in the communication of re-
sponsible decisions about that technology. There was
this feeling that NASA needed to meet launch dead-
lines, to be operational, in order to get funding. In
truth, they were not operational. But, knowing there
were problems, my husband was still willing to fly.”

Perhaps because of Dick’s knowledge of the risk,
June accepted a settlement from NASA and Morton
Thiokol that some negligence lawyers have described
as shockingly low. She and the families of three other
crew members—schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe and
astronauts Ellison Onizuka and Gregory Jarvis—
shared a settlement of $7.7 million in annuities from
the government and Morton Thiokol. Relatives of as-
tronaut Judith Resnik settled with Thiokol for pay-
ments reported to total $1.5 million to $3.5 million.
The amount of a similar agreement between the fam-
ily of Ronald McNair and Morton Thiokol has not been
disclosed. Last August, Jane Smith, the widow of pilot
Michael Smith, settled a suit against Thiokol for an
undisclosed amount; a suit filed by her against NASA
and a former NASA official is pending.

The settlement is a subject that June does not like to
dwell on. “I'd rather not talk about the money; it’s
personal,” she says firmly. “All I can say is that if
words could bring Dick back, I’d speak volumes. But
neither words nor money can bring him back to me.”

But despite the heartbreak she has suffered because
of the space program, June says she would fly on the
shuttle “the next time they want a granny in space.”

And when the Discovery was launched last Septem-
ber, June watched it on television, sitting at her son’s
side at his home in Germany, where he is stationed. “I
had also been sitting with Rich at the time of the
explosion,” June recalls. “It was wonderful to be with
him again, to try to erase the memory.”

Rich, now twenty-four, is an Air Force Academy
graduate who flies F-16 fighter planes, and June is
uncomfortably aware of the similarities between her
husband and her son. “I can’t say I don’t worry,” she
admits. “But if Rich decided he wanted to be an astro-
naut, I would respect that. Wecan all havea safe life
where we don’t venture outside the walls. But is that
living?”

In the past year, June has taken tentative steps
outside the wall she built around herself following her
husband’s death. She has dated, although no serious
relationship has developed. “I used to say that Dick
loved me enough for a lifetime, and
he did,” she says quietly. “But the
rest of this life is lonely, and Id like
to share it with someone. I know
he’d want me to get through life
the best way that I can.”

But if she has yet to find some-
one, June is far from alone. Last
summer her second grandchild, a
baby girl, was born to Kathie.
“There are things I would have
missed if I had given up after Dick’s
death,” she reflects. “Holding the
baby in my arms. Seeing my son
graduate from the Air Force Acade-
my and being at his wedding. He
married a girl Dick knew and liked.
It seemed to make it even better.”

She also has remained close to the other Challenger
relatives. “We’ve formed a family of our own. When
my children come, or when Steven McAuliffe brings
his children, this house just lights up with the laugh-
ter. For the first time, too, ’m making really deep,
committed friendships.”

And always, she finds solace in her happy memories.
“This is the memory I rely on: Dick would leave to go
to work in the morning, and I’d kiss him good-bye.
He’d back the car out of the garage, and he would stop
and wave.” June’s voice cracks slightly. “He’d shrug,
like ‘I don’t want to go.’ More often than not, he’d pull
back up and kiss me-one more time.”

Looking off into the distance, she adds, “I’ve learned
that the petty details of existence aren’t important and
that they should never interfere with the time a family
has together. I’ve also learned that some of the small-
est events are the grandest memories. Children com-
ing in from school with pictures to stick on the refrig-
erator. Family trips across the country in a car. A
husband coming in to say what his day was like.”

She stops talking for a moment, struggling with her
emotions, before continuing. “You just have to find your
own way. What I found for myself is being involved in
my work. There’s a children’s story about a grandmother
who is about to die, and her grandson doesn’t want her
to leave him. She tells him, ‘’'m old, but if you let me go
in death, I can return in spirit and always be with you
and climb the tallest tree with you.”

June pauses and whispers, “Sometimes, you just
have to let go.” a

it. Is it a skin-saving miracle?

Retin-A is doing, besides being
helpful, is making people aware
that many skin problems are pre-
ventable, modifiable and even
partially reversible. If Retin-A

Bihova: Treatment is very similar.
However, since adults tend to
have drier skin than teens, they
should use acne medications that
are less drying. If the acne condi-
tion is severe, Accutane may be
prescribed.

Kligman: The textbooks have said
for one hundred fifty years that
acne is an adolescent disease that
goes away. That's absolute non-

It never goes away.

ly one of the results of stress. | see
a lot of women in their thirties

acne for the first time, as well as
women who had acne as adoles-
cents who now have a different
kind of acne. It’s usually the cystic

menopausal cases. Throughout
life the sebaceous glands are not
constant—they’re continually ex-
panding and contracting, so acne
is extremely common.

Bihova: Women often try to scrub
off their acne—they think it has to

they developed acne because

. framework to start a diet?

and that's part of the problem.
LHJ: Are women becoming more
realistic about improving their
looks?

Rees: It's a question of attitude.
People today are unquestionably
more concerned about their
bodies, about the way they look.
Everyone's into jogging and nutri-
tion. Because attitudes have
changed and people feel young,
they want to look young, too.
LHJ: Overall, what are women’s
attitudes toward beauty today?
Are health and beauty now inter-
twined for most women?
Bihova: Beauty is definitely more
than skin deep. To many women,
being beautiful does mean being
healthy. Many of my health-con-
scious patients admit that they
feel better at forty- years old: than
they did at twenty! But they’re dis-
appointed that their skin doesn’t
look as young as they feel. Basi-
cally, most of us would like to look
as young as possible for as long
as possible because when we look
good, we feel good.

LHJ: And likewise, when we feel
good, do we look good? For in-
stance, are women able to diet
more successfully when they feel
they’ve coped with other prob-
lems in their lives?

Marx: Absolutely. The worst way
to lose weight is to continue to be
on diets that fail. Repeated diets
create a yo-yo effect—the body
gets overly sensitized to starvation
and is more efficient at capturing
all the calories that are available.
So repeated diets actually make it
harder to lose weight.

LHJ: What’s the best mental

Marx: Have realistic expectations
about how much you can lose,
and try to get yourself into a cycle
of success rather than one of fail-
ure. If you feel bad about your-
self, you’re going to eat to com-
pensate. If you feel good about
yourself, you'll have more will-
power.

LHJ: The inability to lose weight
is the number-one beauty prob-
lem in the country. What do you
tell that twenty-pounds-over-
weight woman?

Marx: The best diet is the no-diet
diet. Diets are counterproductive.

It's not as important to lose all that
weight in one week as it is to
have a healthy lifestyle. Eat three
meals a day—if you don’t, the
body gets a tremendous craving to
eat toward the end of the day and
you binge.

LHJ: What about all those thin
people who eat more than heavy
people?

vidual set point—a weight that

LHJ: Do you have any foolproof
tips for losing weight?

Marx: Rule number one—eat
three balanced meals a day. Rule
number two—keep food in one
area of the house, eat only in that
area and don’t do other things
while you eat. The worst thing you
can do while eating is watch TV or
read a magazine. You should fo-
cus on what you’re eating, get
satisfaction out of it and not
let yourself be distracted.
Rule number three—ask
yourself why you're
eating. Are you eat-
ing because you’re
hungry or because
you feel bad? Eating to

your problems worse.
LH3J: Is part of the trick for losing
weight knowing the type of diet
that works best for you—for in-
stance, being part of a support
group?

Marx: Definitely. People tend to
concentrate too much on the food
itself and not on the reinforcers
that make the diet work. Actually,
for many women, group diets are
very effective. Social reinforce-
ment makes the difference.

LHJ: The subject of food leads us
directly to teeth. How are Ameri-
cans’ teeth going to look better?
Smigel: Bording is a remarkable
advance. It enables —_ (continued)

(continued) us to make people look
great quickly without damage to
the teeth. It's an instant beauty
transformation that has revolu-
tionized aesthetics in the industry.
As for people whose teeth are
damaged by gum disease, we've
approached the problem from two
angles. First, we worked on ways
to eliminate and prevent gum dis-
ease; and for those people who
have already lost teeth, we've
done great work with dental im-
plants. Implants can replace the
need for dentures. It’s a complicat-
ed procedure that involves sub-
merging the implants into the
bone and letting them integrate
for six to eight months. If the im-
plants integrate successfully,
which is 90 percent of the time,
we screw attachments into the im-
plants and put teeth over them.
They work ‘magnificently, one of
our biggest advances. Closing
spaces, repairing chipped teeth,
straightening teeth in one or two
visits—these are all routine today.

cedures that make people look

ceptable, it’s a booming beauty
industry. How does a woman
make sure she has a positive ex-
perience?

Rees: By being as informed and
prepared as possible before the
operation. | advise people to write
a list of every question they can
think of before coming in for a
consultation. The next step is to be
sure that your surgeon is quali-
fied. Don’t be afraid to ask a doc-
tor for his qualifications. Is he a

wrinkle shows up on their face.
LHJ: So you sometimes turn
away patients?

Rees: Oh, yes, all the time. And
explaining to a patient why you
think she shouldn’‘t have surgery
can be a problem, because pa-
tients often get very angry and
upset. They don’t understand why
you wouldn‘t want to operate.
Sometimes patients are disap-
pointed with bad results, and
they're the surgeon’s fault. But

most of the problems stem from a
patient’s false expectations of
what she thinks she’s going to get
out of surgery. People want to
look perfect, and that’s an unat-
tainable goal.

Marx: What usually is not dis-
cussed is what the patient really
wants in terms of results. Usually
it’s not the surgery itself, it’s “if |
lose these pounds or remove this
wrinkle, | can get a date or | can
get my husband to love me again
or | can get a job.” Are these as-
sumptions realistic? Sometimes
they are, sometimes you can get
good results, but oftentimes
there’s a lot of magical thinking
about what really can be done
and what changes can be made
in your life. Most patients aren’t
looking for the technical proce-
dure, but for happiness in some
other form.

Rees: The bottom line of cosmetic
surgery for most people is sexuat.
People want to look as good as
they can. There’s nothing wrong
with a little vanity—all of us want
to be sexually attractive. The best
patient that | see comes in, sits
down and says, “! want to look
younger, | want to look more at-
tractive,» | want to be sexually
more attractive.”

LHJ: What’s the prime age for a
face-lift?

Rees: First of all we have to de-
fine a face-lift. It's a definitive op-
erative procedure—not a little
tuck on a Saturday afternoon. A
face-lift is for jowls, for hanging
necks, it’s eyelid surgery for bags
and so forth. The answer to your
question is when they need it. It is
very rare to do a face-lift on a
thirty-year-old unless she has
some unusual problem. We are
doing face-lifts younger and
younger, though—we’'re starting
in the forties, usually forty-five to
fifty-five. We do spend a lot of
time convincing patients that face-
lifts are not prophylactic—if you
have one before you really need
it, it won’t prevent your face from
falling. So the key is to find a
qualified doctor who will be hon-
est and not try to lift your purse.
LHJ: How about liposuction?
Rees: Liposuction is an extraordi-
narily effective procedure for the

right problem, such as what we

call riding-breeches deformity, but

it's not a cure for obesity.

LHJ: Dr. Marx, are you seeing

people who think that if they

can’t lose weight, they can

count on liposuction?

Marx: Yes, and | have to convince

them that liposuction is only for

specific, localized areas. Over-

weight people who somehow find

a surgeon to perform the proce-

dure are very disappointed with

the results.

LHJ: Dr. Bihova, please explain

collagen injections and the value

| of them.

| Bihova: Practically everyone de-
velops expression lines—frown
lines, smile lines, etc., that can be
temporarily eliminated with colla- >
gen injections. Collagen can also -
be used for superficial wrinkles,
deep wrinkles and scars. The pro-
cedure consists of a skin test to
insure that the patient isn’t aller-
gic, treatment sessions and touch-
ups. The number of treatments
varies, depending on how many
injections a person needs. The
procedure doesn’t interfere with
everyday routines—you can have
it done and go back to the office. aa
LHJ: But isn’t it an expensive
temporary solution that you

have to use more frequent- &

ly as you get older?

Bihova: Collagen is

relatively (continued)

(continued) expensive
at a few hundred dol-
lars for one cubic centi-
meter. But you don’t
have to continue to use
it if you don’t want to.

Kligman: | think the
most important thing
about retinoic acid is its
antitumor action. Retin-
oids control epidermal
differentiation. When
skin cells begin to go
bad, they become ab-
normal. They come

apart and have differ-

i ent sizes and shapes.

i ; J i Half of them, in photo-
in, damaged skin, don’t

than they were before
having the collagen injections.
Kligman: Collagen is temporary, last-
ing at most nine months, and if you
don’t like it, you don’t have to do it
anymore. Collagen is not a miracle
that will erase wrinkles forever. It’s a
helpful adjunct for certain kinds of
wrinkles, but it doesn’t work for
everyone.
Rees: In the same way that collagen
injections must be continuous to be
effective, so do Retin-A applications. |
think one of the reasons Retin-A is
doomed to fail with a large number
of people is because they will not be
persistent enough and use it proper-
ly. You have to use it for months at a
time to see results.
Bihova: Some people get Retin-A
from a friend, a pharmacist or a gen-
eral practitioner and don't know the
instructions for proper use. They end
up with tremendous irritation and
become very discouraged.
LHJ: That’s a philosophical quest-
ion. Dr. Kligman, 5 does it concern
(px2 you that
you have
created
< a prod-
1/-~ uct that
everyone
wants but not ev-
eryone knows how to
use properly?
Kligman: No, because
there is no toxicologic
significance of misuse.
If you put it in your
eye, it won't do
any harm. It’s unfortu-
nate that people will
pay for the substance
and the money will be
wasted because they
don’t know how to use
it. However, this is only
the first species of retin-
oid. Eventually the prod-
uct will be better formu-
lated and easier to use.
LHJ: Dr. Kligman, do
you see an increase in
the use of these kinds

surface. But after a
month of treatment with retinoic
acid, these cells are marching up to
the skin’s surface and they’re all uni-
form. It’s fantastic. As for the tumor
progression, when a clone of cells
begins a career toward cancer, which
takes decades, we can interfere using
retinoic acid, which interrupts the
process prior to malignancy.

LHJ: Fascinating! And what’s the
next step in dentistry?

Smigel: We're working on getting rid
of periodontal disease. We're looking
at techniques to intercept the gum
breakdown, similar to what Retin-A
does to dying cells. We've developed
the Kyes technique, in which we use
specific materials, essentially baking
soda and hydrogen peroxide, and
force them under
the tissues. If the
periodontal disease
is in a very early
stage, the technique
destroys it and actu-
ally reverses the
damage. Our next
step is working with
antibiotics to limit
and reverse an ad-
vanced stage of
periodontal disease.
LHJ: Dr. Bihova,
what are you looking forward to?
Bihova: To the availability of an in-
visible sun block, something that will
be cosmetically elegant and that will
also provide total protection against
all kinds of ultraviolet light, includ-
ing infrared light.

LHJ: If you were to give women one
piece of advice, would it be to use a
sun block every day, no matter
where they live in this country?
Bihova: To stay away from the sun
and to use sun block daily.

LHJ: Even in the winter?

Bihova: Yes. Once you get accus-
tomed to it, it will be as natural as
brushing your teeth. And as easy.
LHJ: Dr. Rees, what’s the future in
plastic surgery?

Rees: Improving the technology of
surgery. For instance, lasers are not

at this moment, except for very spe-
cific things, useful to us. But | think
they will become useful in plastic
surgery. | also think we'll make
breakthroughs in diagnosis and
planning of treatment. The other
thing that will make a big difference
is the biocellular research to prevent
aging. Retin-A is just the beginning.
LHJ: Is there a changing taste in
how people want to look after plas-
tic surgery?

Rees: | think it’s cultural. Look at
nose surgery. Twenty years ago the
cultural acceptance in the East Coast
area was for a curved little nose. It
was a little too narrow and a little
pinchy in the tip. Today people want
to look natural, not like they were
“done.” Standards have changed
over the years.

LHJ: Dr. Marx, will concern about
weight loss always be with us? Do
you think if food manufacturers pro-

- vide fat-free foods or foods with fat-

depleting properties that it will
make a difference in dieting?

Marx: We're on the frontier of a
whole new type of medical knowl-
edge—real advances are going to
come not in the changes in foods
themselves, but in better understand-
ing and better ways of manipulating
the chemicals in the brain that control
appetite and urges to binge. We've

already had substantial progress
with new discoveries about how anti-
depressants can control the bulimic’s
urge to binge. A change in carbohy-
drate metabolism reduces the binges
in people who are not depressed. It’s
not like the old amphetamine diet
medications, which are addictive and
cause all sorts of problems. These
new medications seem to be useful
without toxic side effects. The re-
search is exciting and promising.

LHJ: It’s obvious that nowadays the
basis of beauty is health, and good
medical advice leads to good health.
You’ve provided Journal readers
with invaluable information about
the many treatments available to
them now as well as the medical ad-
vances they can look forward to.

inviting retreat. A nature-lover, she brings the outdoors
in with floor-to-ceiling ficus trees. French doors let in

and friends on one side and a gathering of colorful
vintage pertume bottles on the other.

HOW TO COOK PERFECT PASTA

Many people have trouble making
good pasta because they don’t use a
large enough pot. Pasta needs suffi-
cient water to cook, but don’t overcook
so it’s soggy. Our instructions will
help you get great results.

For 1 pound pasta, fill a large pot
with at least 4 quarts fresh cold water.
Cover the pot and bring to a boil.
When the water boils, add 1% to 2
tablespoons salt (necessary for great
flavor), then drop in the pasta. Cover
the pot to quickly bring the water back
to a boil. Uncover and boil the pasta,
stirring occasionally, until it’s al dente,
tender but still firm to the bite. Another
test is to cut 1 pasta strand in half. If
the center is white, the pasta is under-
cooked; check again in 30 seconds or
so. It's better to undercook pasta a little
because it will continue to soften until
it's cooled. Pour the pasta into a colan-
der and shake to get rid of any water.
Serve as soon as possible.

CHOCOLATE

Remember
weaving
baskets in Girl
Scouts? This
chocolate
basket isn’t any
more difficult!

o begin, read all instructions! Make

the chocolate clay (for the basket

weave) first and let stand while mak-
ing the basket base. If you’ve never
worked with chocolate before, use the
melting wafers—they don’t have to be
tempered. But use real semisweet choco-
late for the truffles, because you can
taste the difference.

Note: Reception candy sticks can be or-
dered through S.E. Rykoff & Co. Call 800-
421-9873. Chocolate melting wafers are
available in many grocery stores and can
be ordered from Saco Foods, P.O. Box
5461, Madison, Wi 53705.

Chocolate clay

10 ounces semisweet chocolate or chocolate
melting wafers
Ys cup light corn syrup

Place chocolate in top of a double boiler
over hot but not simmering water. Heat,
stirring occasionally, until melted and
smooth. Add corn syrup and stir gently
just until blended. Pour onto wax paper
and spread '% inch thick. Let stand until
dry, 45 minutes to 1% hours.

Basket base

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, tempered
(instructions follow), or chocolate
melting wafers

158

13 or 15 Reception candy sticks

14 inches plastic-coated 12- or
14-gauge conduit wire (sold in
hardware stores)

Select a plastic bowl (such as a whipped
topping container) with a 4- to 5-inch flat
base and sloping sides. Melt chocolate as
directed for Chocolate Clay; do not allow
tempered chocolate to become hotter
than 90°F. Reserve 1 tablespoon choco-
late. Pour remaining chocolate in con-
tainer to make base. Insert candy sticks,
undipped ends up, at 1-inch intervals
around edge of mold. Refrigerate until
chocolate feels dry and cool, about 30
minutes. Unmold base.

Making the basket

Knead 2 tablespoons chocolate clay until
malleable and roll into a ¥%-inch-thick
rope. Repeat with remaining
clay. Set aside one 18-inch
rope for top edge and make
one 10-inch rope for handle.
Wrap 1 rope loosely around
hand to prevent it from
stretching. Attach rope to in-
side of base and weave
around sticks. Splice next rope
to end of last one; continue
weaving and splicing until
ropes reach just under un-
dipped ends of sticks. If clay is
too soft, refrigerate.

Cut candy sticks level with
weaving. Halve rope for top edge; roll
each half into thin 16-inch rope and twist
together. Paint tops and undipped ends
of sticks with reserved melted chocolate.
Attach twisted rope to top of basket.
Handle: Bend conduit wire into arc and
insert into top of basket. Secure handle
with melted chocolate. Mold 10-inch clay
rope smoothly around wire.

Tempering chocolate

Preheat oven to 200°F. Cut 8 ounces semisweet
chocolate into 1-inch chunks. Place 4 ounces in
food processor. Turn machine on and add remain-
ing chocolate through feed tube; process until
coarsely chopped. Remove to a saucepan or
heatproof bowl. Place chocolate in oven and imme-
diately turn oven off. Stir chocolate every 5 minutes
until melted and heated to 100°F., 15 to 20
minutes. Add two 1-ounce squares semisweet choc-
olate in good temper (chocolate is dark with no
discoloration on surface). Stir with folding motion
until chocolate is cooled to 90°F. (When checking
temperature, make sure chocolate covers nick in
candy thermometer stem for accurate reading.)
Remove chocolate squares and save for other use.

Line baking sheet with wax paper and spread
tempered chocolate 2 inch thick on paper. Refrig-
erate 3 to 5 minutes; if surface is dry to the touch
and center is cool, chocolate is tempered. If choco-
late is not dry, it is not in temper and process will
have to be repeated. Store, well wrapped, at cool
room temperature. When melting tempered choco-
late, do not allow it to get hotter than 90°F.

truttles

Making truffles is as easy as rolling
cookie dough: If the chocolate
gets sticky, chill it until it firms
up. If it’s too cold, let it warm up for a
couple of minutes and try again.

Prep time: 1 hour plus chilling ©

1 cup heavy or whipping
cream
12 ounces semisweet chocolate,
chopped fine
Ys cup unsalted butter, cut up
Sifted confectioners’ sugar or
unsweetened cocoa

Heat cream in a medium saucepan until
small bubbles form around edge. Re-
move from heat. Add chocolate and
butter; stir until melted and smooth. If
desired, stir in any flavorings (sugges-
tions follow). Pour mixture on clean
dry cookie sheet. Refrigerate until
firm, at least 2 hours.

Using 2 teaspoons, scoop chocolate
mixture into 1-inch mounds. Coat in
confectioners’ sugar or cocoa and
quickly roll into balls. Refrigerate on
a clean cookie sheet until firm. Coat
as desired (suggestions follow).

Store truffles, well wrapped or in
airtight containers, in refrigerator up
to 1 week or in freezer up to 3 weeks.
Dipped truffles will lose their shine
when thawed, but the taste won't be
affected. Makes about 4 dozen.

Flavorings: Add 1 cup finely chopped
toasted nuts, such as walnuts, pecans
or hazelnuts.

Add 3 tablespoons raspberry, or-
ange, amaretto, almond, hazelnut or
coffee liqueur or 2 tablespoons rum,
whiskey, cognac or very strong
brewed espresso.

Coatings: Dip in melted tempered choc-
olate, chocolate melting wafers or
white chocolate, holding each truffle
with a toothpick or fork. Refrigerate
on wax paper on a clean cookie sheet
until coating is set.

Or roll in sifted confectioners’ sug-
ar, sifted unsweetened cocoa, finely
chopped toasted nuts, or toasted
grated coconut.

If desired, drizzle or pipe dipped
truffles with very thin lines of melted
semisweet chocolate or melted white
chocolate tinted with food color.

already photographic history, consigned to the cuttin
room floor. He had watched the entire episode with t
knowledge in his heart and a deep sadness in his eyes.

Charles and Diana have both changed tremendous
since the day of their wedding. The disparity between w
they were then and who they have become has contribu
to the difficulties in their relationship. From the stal
Charles was too old for his age and surprisingly insecur
while Diana was young, immature and shrewd.

Ten years ago, on his thirtieth birthday, Prince Charl
needed a wife and even told his staff that it was his ma
urgent priority. Often as not, he was spending his eveni
alone, eating a solitary meal off a tray with the televiall
as his only companion. A late developer sexually as
other ways, no doubt because of the artificiality of h
upbringing, Charles was still rather clumsy with wom

many a girlfriend came and went, Charles grew more al
more depressed, almost desperate.

For solace and companionship, Charles turned to
now-married former girlfriends, Camilla Parker-Bowl
and Dale, Lady Tryon, whom he nicknamed Kanga.
Prince could be seen with them without any danger
starting more wearisome marriage rumors. They were a
to offer advice and friendship without either party havi
to worry about declarations of interest.

Diana—the perfect candidate

At last Charles chanced upon the apparently perfect can
date in the girl—for once, literally—next door, born on
royal estate at Sandringham. (Before inheriting Altho
Diana’s father rented a large house on the Queen’s prop
ty.) Diana Spencer was strikingly beautiful and seemed
possess a quality close to his heart: a sense of humor.

Diana had been lightheartedly paired off by playful re
tives with Prince Andrew, whose picture she had pinned o
her bed in her school dormitory. But she had cherished,
these years, a more ambitious dream.

As she and Charles began to meet regularly in 1980, Di
suitability was duly discussed by the unofficial vetting co:
mittee headed by Kanga and Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Months passed, and sensing that Charles was still
quite ready to commit himself, Diana forced the pace a r
by telling him that she planned to flee for a while to Aus
lia, to her mother’s ranch, for a much-needed break. She hé
made arrangements to travel early in February. Charl
who would be away skiing in the meantime, invited her
dine alone with him at Buckingham Palace on February 4
couple of evenings before she was due to leave.

And there, at last, he proposed. Diana accepted at “7
but a still cautious Charles urged her to “think the wh
thing over” in Australia, lest on mature reflection it pro}
“too awful” a prospect. Diana never wavered.

A few weeks later, at a secret dinner party at Winds
Castle, Lady Diana Spencer was the Queen’s guest of hon
at a table crammed with British royalty, gathered to a
the happy couple. Charles seemed anxious and bowed do
by it all. Diana herself, by contrast, told the assembli
company that she never had a moment’s doubt.

seen. With the first public royal kiss,
on the balcony of Buckingham Palace,
they were universally deemed a fairy-
tale couple.

When a son, William, was born less
than a year later—relieving Charles of
another burden, ensuring the succes-
sion—the fairy tale was complete. The
thoroughly modern Prince was even
present at the birth in a London hospi-
tal, another royal first. A second son,
Harry, arrived two years later—pro-
viding the royal couple with the pro-
verbial “heir and spare.”

But within months of their mar-
riage, it became clear that Diana was
rapidly changing her husband in a

DIANA: the ever-
more-public princess

Her fairy-tale marriage may be somewhat tar-
nished these days, but Princess Diana has be-
come ever more adept at polishing up her
public image. Having spent the last seven and
a half years asserting her world-famous style
as the photographers snapped away, the Prin-
cess of Wales is now emerging as an indepen-
dent woman who seems to grow more confi-
dent with each passing month.

It's likely that Diana's newfound poise will
be prominently on display in early February,
during her first-ever visit to New York City. The
two-day trip, her second to the U.S., is also her
first foreign jaunt without Charles. “Princess
Diana is here to work, really,” says Francis
Comish, of the British Embassy in Washington.
“We'll be trying to find ways for her to publi-
cize her interest in social welfare.”

Diana declares child welfare to be her most
pressing concem, and she made news last fall
when she addressed a conference of Bamardo’s,
the London-based charitable agency she has pre-
sided over since 1984. The Princess spoke in a
forthright way about child-rearing and the need
for family unity, surprising the 1,000-member
audience and television viewers everywhere,
who remembered the less eloquent Diana of
barely a year ago.

“I fully realize that for many young people,
family life is not always a happy experience,”
said Diana, whose own parents separated when
she was six. “They may have been thrown out
of their homes, or circumstances may have
forced them to leave. | know that family life is
extremely important, and as the mother of two
small boys | think we may have to find a
securer way of helping our children—to prepare
them to face life as stable adults.”

took to stints living the life of a Corn-
wall dairy farmer. Charles even
turned vegetarian (“Oh, do grow up,”
said the Queen when he told her).

The resulting press mockery was
grossly unfair but persistent enough to
inspire public concern, much of it sa-
tirical. His father, Prince Philip, wor-
ried that married
life with Diana was
turning his eldest
son into a “wimp.”
And even today for-
ty-year-old Charles
can be reduced to
tears by his father’s
criticism.

For Charles,
marriage had final-
ly freed him—rath-
er later than most
young men—from
life at home under
the powerful sway
of his parents, amid
the values of their

generation. The
thoughtful, even
somewhat eccentric

Prince whom his
future subjects now
saw for the first
time was the real
one, locked, per-
haps, in a perpetual
version of the ado-
lescence he had
never had.

At the same
time, Diana was
changing, and in
ways that sur-
prised and even
stunned the Prince.

In her first few
years as a princess,
Diana was swept

still, were the crowds, who continued
to groan if Charles rather than Di
headed in their direction. At first de-
lighted to be relieved by Diana of the
unremitting spotlight he had endured
all his life, he grew weary of the at-
tentions toward her. The insatiable ap-
petite for details of the Princess of
Wales drowned out anything Charles
might do or say. For a man desperate

of trivia became deeply irritating.

To Diana, Charles was no longer the
man she had married. When first she
had fallen in love with him, her Prince
had been a James Bond-style contem-
porary hero, the world’s most eligible
bachelor. Diana’s effect on him, by the
cruelest of ironies, had been to expose
that identity as a self-deluding sham.

He, for his part, had been crushed by
the realization that his wife could not

function as a soulmate. They
shared joy in their children but ]

much more. “I think an awful le

world’s number-one cover girl
throughout the 1980s, the Princess’s
self-love knew no bounds.

Sure enough, the photographer saw
Diana give him a sidelong glance to
make sure that he was watching.
Then, imperceptibly, she slid the hem
of her skirt farther and farther up her
knee—revealing, to
this expert eye,
“precisely an inch
more thigh than
we'd ever seen be-
fore.” After another
sidelong glance, to
make sure that he
had got the point,
and the picture, the
regal hemline de-
scended again.

Diana, in her su-
perstar role of be-
ing royal, is bored
with the tedious
round of duties that
are its price. She
has a husband who
no longer under-
stands her—nor
even, it seems,
much likes her. In
turn, to be fair, she
is saddled with a
marriage of oppo-
sites, to a man who
cannot share her
youthful joie de vi-
vre, and who places
an emphasis on his
public life that is
way beyond her.
Most of the time, it
is all too clear, she
is bored with him.
More important,
she is deeply sad-
dened by his com-
pulsion to be alone,
abstracted, medita-
tive, self-pitying—
even to the point of
spending weeks on
end without their
two children.

The Prince’s fu-
ture subjects have
now come to the reluctant conclusion
that his marriage has reached a state
of cool, mutual indifference. After sev-
en years together, perhaps it is possi-
ble for a Prince and Princess of Wales
to conduct their lives at a sophisticated
distance. But the marriage that began
so joyfully, that entranced the whole
world, is not the marriage that most of
Charles and Diana’s contemporaries
would choose for themselves. 8

“Order a CAT scan.”

7:30 A.M.

The CAT scan showed blood pressing on the brain. A
subdural hematoma, the kind of seepage that usually
develops over four to six hours. The little girl was hooked
up to a life-support system now, but she wasn’t going to
make it. Soon they would make the official pronounce-
ment. Brain-dead.

8 a.M. to 6:30 P.M.

The police proceeded with methodical caution. Three cars
went to 104 Waverly Place to pick up Barry Kantor and
Judith Winograd for questioning. Over Kantor’s objec-
tions, a female officer untied the other child, a baby boy,
and took a whiff of the rancid milk in his bottle. By
daylight the “wooden cage” described in the memo books
of the first cops on the scene turned out to be an inverted
playpen. Aside from the filth he was wallowing in, the
baby appeared unharmed. The officer took him to
Special Services for Children.

The case grew more bizarre by the minute. Several
neighbors told detectives that the suspects weren’t mar-
ried and the two children were adopted. Kantor and Win-
ograd confirmed the story, but the state’s computers drew
a blank on the adoption papers.

Kantor sounded like a broken record. He hugged his
arms and repeated, “I’m a good father, ask the school.” Featherweight® Healthy Recipes® French-Style Dres!

as telling her his life story. When they got together
place, they would smoke a joint, break open a bottle
ne, and Barry would talk. He had a one-bedroom
ment on Waverly Place in Greenwich Village. It was
beautiful old brownstone that was still under rent
ol; a wonderful find. Originally the apartment be-
d to a client. Judith was hazy about the details.
1 she asked about Barry’s clients, he usually changed
ubject. He had this lawyer thing about privileged
mation, and she respected him for it.
jith could listen to him talk for hours, but every

rolled over on his side, away from her. “My mother
errified of him, and the neighbors had their hands

full with their own children.”

“Nobody tried to stop him?”

She got no answer.

Judith thought about her own family—her parents who
said, “Why can’t you just settle?” And how when she
made it all the way to Brooklyn College, they said, “You'll
never stick it out. You’ll find some man, and that will be
the end of your hotsy-totsy education.” I fooled you, Ju-
dith thought. I got the diploma and I didn’t get a man.
The boys at college didn’t want me. They were all escape
artists, Mama, just like I was.

Now, after five months of seeing Barry Kantor, she still
didn’t know where she stood with him. One minute they
were communicating peacefully, and the next minute he
was up and agitated, finding fault with her for some
minor infraction of a rule she hadn’t been told about.

Later, when he came out of the shower, he had a towel
wrapped around his hips. God, he was gorgeous.

“Make it snappy,” he said. “Fun’s over. Got a pile of
work.” He jerked his thumb toward the bathroom.

She was being dismissed. No, she would not be dis-
missed. “You’ve got to have dinner sometime, Barry. You
might as well have it with me.”

“Judith, sometimes I think you're all I ever wanted ina
girl, and then you go and do something and make me feel
closed in. You’re a nudge and a slob.”

Sometimes I think you’re all I ever wanted in a girl.
He’d actually said it.

SEPTEMBER 1971

“I notice he doesn’t even put your name on the doorbell?”
The opening salvo, before she had entered the apart-

ment! Judith’s parents could slice under her skin and

expose a raw nerve in two seconds flat. (continued)

“It’s a protection against the land-
lord, Ma. Barry’s going to write him a
letter after he signs the new lease.”

Goldie Winograd sighed. “This is not
what I expected when I came to see my
daughter in her... her new home.”
She choked on “home.”

Judith trailed down the hall after
her father, who was pushing open the
French doors to the bedroom. “This is
the way you let a lawyer keep his
books and his clothes? A lawyer?” He
shook his head and walked back to the
front room.

“They happen to be my books.”

He didn’t hear. Her mother had
brought a gift box of cookies and was
arranging them on a plate.

“Motherrrr, before dinner? I made a
reservation at the Coach House.” Her
mother looked at her father, who had a
sheepish look on his face.

“Max already had a sandwich.”

“Why, why? I told you we were all

Barry came home.” She could hear her
voice rising.

“Max forgot.”

“Don’t worry about me, Judith. I’ll
have soup and some crackers.”

“I don’t believe this. I don’t believe
this.” She was screaming.

Judith heard the turn of the key in
the lock. “Barry.” She flew to the door
and kissed him hard on the mouth. He
looked past her and took in the scene.

“Goldie, Max. Looking good! You
been here long? Judith got reserva-
tions at the best restaurant in the Vil-
lage. Did she tell you?”

Her parents smiled up at him. The
savior had arrived.

JULY 1975

He couldn’t give her a contract, since
she hadn’t published a thing in her
life, but the editor showed Judith some
of the in-house ideas he’d been trying

182

to find an author for. Someone in her
writers’ group had suggested that writ-
ing a children’s book was the perfect
way for her to get into publishing. The
editor told her to choose one idea, and
he’d reserve it for her.

She chose Vegetables that Grow Un-
derground for the five- to eight-year-
old market.

Barry and she played Vegetables
that Grow Underground. She said,
“Beets!” and he yelled, “Carrots!” She
clapped her hands crying, “Rutabaga,
rutabaga!” and skipped around the liv-
ing room. He caught her by the arm
and wrestled her onto the rug.

“Babe, I have great faith in you,” he
said. “We’re gonna make you the new
Dr. Seuss.”

She loved it when he teased her like
that. Why couldn’t he be this sweet
and gentle all the time? The rages in
Barry were a puzzle to her. The slight-
est spark could touch them off, but
blessing of blessings, they lifted just as
suddenly, and then their relationship
was bathed in glorious sunshine again.
She loved him more than ever, and she
knew he loved her. What they had was
more than love. The hurt look that
came over him when he saw the bruise
under her eye the first time he hit
her—she would carry that memory for
the rest of her life.

They were a team.

A wave of euphoria spread over her.
She was even beginning to see what he
saw in cocaine.

SEPTEMBER 8, 1977

Barry made a fool of himself in court
and lost every motion he presented.
His client got the max.

Judith was in the kitchen when Bar-
ry came home. The aroma of baking
lasagna permeated the apartment. He
saw the set table and went into the
bedroom and slammed the door. An
hour later he left the apartment with-
out saying a word.

Six hours later...

He grabbed her by the hair and
slammed her head against the bedpost.
Judith awoke on impact.

“You went to bed with the oven on.”

Her head hit the post again. “The
oven, you crazy bitch, you left it on full
blast.” His other hand gripped her
neck. She clawed at his fingers.

Suddenly he released her. “I could
have come home to an inferno.”

She lay there panting, feeling no
pain. The pain would come later. For
now it was over.

1. Simply stated, plaque can cause gum
disease and tooth decay. Every
day it builds up on your teeth.
So every day it should be
removed.
Unfortunately, studies
show that all too often
an ordinary manual
toothbrush just
doesn’t remove it

all. But a state-
of-the-art automatic
toothbrush can easily leave your

teeth nearly plaque-free.

2. Not only have clinical tests shown
that the automatic toothbrush may be
superior to any manual toothbrush, but
dentists recommend them to their
patients every day.

3. When you use an automatic tooth-
brush, you brush with the motion that
dental professionals know works best.

It reaches the tightest spaces between

for

teeth and out-of-the-way recesses
under the gum line.

4. After brushing, your teeth will be
thoroughly clean, probably for the first |
time. Because in the three minutes it
takes to brush, the automatic tooth- |
brush delivers thousands of gentle,
rotating strokes, while manual brush-
ing delivers fewer than 500.

5. The gentle motion of the soft, pol-
ished bristles actually helps promote
healthier gums. And because they’re
soft, the bristles are easy on your gums
and can’t scratch enamel.

6. An automatic toothbrush is pleas-
ant, even fun to use. So your children
will be more likely to brush often and
brush well.

7. It recharges itself automatically. So
it’s ready to remove plaque whenever
and wherever you are.

eye opener.

back against the oven. This is it, she
thought. He is killing me. She tried to
scream, but nothing came out. Some-
how he got the oven door open and
shoved her head and shoulders inside.
I am going to be burned alive. She
kicked backward with her bare feet,
wrenched out of his grip, and rolled
over, protecting her face with her
hands.

“Kicks you want? Kicks?” His shoe
heel slammed into Judith’s crotch.

She lay there, past caring, and took
the blows. He was stomping on her
pubic bone when she passed out.

APRIL 17, 1982, EVENING
The door opened. She was expecting
the hospital orderly with her dinner
tray, but it was Barry. He stood in the
doorway, the tray in his hands. She
worked the corners of her mouth to

and uncertain, but proud, too.

watched him over the rim of the cup.
He looked so pitiful she could hardly
bear it. She set down the cup and
looked away. “You tried to burn me in
the oven.” She had spoken. She hadn’t
meant to. She started to cry.

“Judith? I brought you here. I car-
ried you down the stairs in my arms.”

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

“Judith, listen to me. I wouldn’t do
anything to hurt you. I love you.”

She shook her head.

“What happened to us, Judith? I
blanked out. I’m scared. We were hav-
ing an argument in the kitchen, and
you fell against the stove.”

“You pushed me.”

“Judith, help me. I’m scared. I care
about you more than anything. If you
leave me, I'll go out of my mind.”

She looked into his eyes. They were
as wet as hers.

“You carried me down the stairs?”

AUGUST 1982

Things at Claridge and Palmer had
come to a head in June when it was
discovered that Judith hadn’t edited
anything in six months. She had no
choice but to resign. The summer went
by in a haze.

her coloring book, dressed and ready to
go. The five-year-old’s cheek was red.
Nothing serious, the mark would be
gone by tomorrow.

They all piled into the car to drive to
Queens, where one of Barry’s clients—
Mr. Guiterrez—was throwing a party.
Baby Ricky slept most of the night, but
Melinda joined in the festivities.

The host’s nephew put a cassette
into his Camcorder as the salsa music
resounded through the room. Melinda
kicked off her patent leather shoes and
paraded for the camera, mugging into
the lens, a twirling pink tornado with
strawberry hair and a loose barrette.

“Hey, Barry,” said the nephew. “I
take many pictures of your kid. She’s a
good little dancer.”

The exhausted little girl wouldn’t
quit. Daddy’s watching. Daddy’s
watching. Melinda continued to twist
and whirl in her stocking feet, a feral
smile on her tired face.

FEBRUARY 1987
Melinda loved her baby brother, who
by now was a perpetual-motion ma-

chine that rolled, crawled and lurched

around the apartment. His newest
trick was to pull open Barry’s chest of
drawers and dump out all his clothes.

One day Barry came home with a
secondhand wooden playpen. He then

collected the baby’s toys and threw
them in a pile near the window. He
plunked Ricky down on top of the pile.
Before the surprised baby knew what
was happening, the upside-down play-
pen went over his head. Ricky peered
through the bars and howled.

“Give him time, he’ll love it,” Barry
told Judith. “His own private space.”

Melinda cried when she came home
from kindergarten and saw Ricky in
the cage. “I can’t hug and pet him.”

“He’s not going to live in there, Me-
linda,” her father explained. “It’s only
for when your mother can’t cope.”

SEPTEMBER 14, 1987

The first day of school! Melinda
skipped down the street in her brand-
new sneakers, her blue cloth book bag
flying behind her.

Her first-grade classroom was up
one flight of stairs. She pulled her fa-
ther by the hand, leading the way. At
the door, he introduced himself to Lila
Rumson, her new teacher.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1987
Len Cohen liked photographing kids.
This was a one-day assignment for an
educational publisher.

He saw the little heartbreaker as
soon as he walked in the door. She had
a bruise under her right (continued)

eye and another one on her left cheek.
Her hair was uncombed, and somebody
had chopped off a clump in the back.
There was dirt under her fingernails,
and her corduroy jumper badly
needed a wash.

Cohen glanced at his client. “What
do you think?” he whispered. “I can
shoot around her.”

But she would not be ignored.

“Ah, I’ve got a little assistant! Here,
sweetheart, hold the cap for me.”

“l’m not an assistant, I want to be in
the pictures. How come you got two
cameras?”

He couldn’t get over her chutzpah.
“This one makes little girls look pret-
ty. Now give me a big smile.”

After, he asked, “How’d you get that
mouse under your eye?”

“My baby brother hit me.”

Cohen’s client wanted to say some-
thing to the teacher before they left
the classroom, but the moment passed.

With a terrible cry, he
caught the child’s
legs
and
whirled
her like a
_shot—putter.

“It’s so obvious,”
“They don’t need me to point it out.”

he whispered.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1987
Barry’s neck muscles twitched as he
paced in the principal’s office.

“T’ve got friends down at the Board
of Education. I'll file a suit for defama-
tion of character.”

“Mr. Kantor, Mrs. Rumson has been
with us a long time, we respect her
judgment. Her feeling is that Melinda
may have pressures at home.”

Barry abruptly sat down. “Pressures
at home?”

The principal gave him a hopeful,
encouraging nod.

“It’s not my habit to unburden my-
self to strangers,” Barry said in a dole-
ful voice, “but at this moment I think I
need a good friend. Judith is a wonder-
ful mother to Melinda, and in my pres-
ence she’s never raised a hand to our
daughter. But, do you know what it’s

like to live with a clinically diagnosed
depressive schizophrenic? Maybe I’ve
been deluding myself that we could
stay together as a family unit. It was
suggested to me a long time ago that
she ought to be institutionalized. But
what do I do? Kiss her good-bye and
throw away the key?”

The principal nodded. “You under-
stand our obligation is to Melinda.”

“You're right. I guess I needed an
objective observer to put things into
proper perspective.”

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1987
Melinda sat cross-legged on the cold
tiles and silently recited her ABC’s.
She counted up to five hundred.

Holding her breath, the child opened
the bathroom door. Nothing happened.
She took off her shoes so she wouldn’t
make any noise and tiptoed across the
living-room floor until she reached her
brother’s playpen. “Stop it, Ricky,” she
said in her bossiest whisper. “Shut up,
or I won’t give you your bottle.”

The baby gasped for air and contin-
ued sobbing. Melinda reached through
the wooden bars and patted the top of
his head. “Please don’t be scared,
Ricky. It’s over. Do you want to come
out? Pll ask Mommy.”

Melinda walked down the hallway
until she got to her parents’ bedroom.
She listened gravely outside the door
before retracing her steps to the play-
pen. “You'll have to stay in there for a
while, Ricky. Mommy’s sleeping. Don’t
get upset.” She leaned her head
against the bars. “Ricky? If you stop
crying, I'll tell you a story.”

Judith staggered to the bathroom. She
missed the toilet bowl and threw up on
the floor. “Melinda,” she called.

The child ran to her mother.
“Mommy, Mommy, I’m here.”

Judith covered her face. “Melinda, I
can’t walk. I need you to help me. Go
get the ice from the freezer. Use the
stepladder; be ‘careful. Bring me the
whole tray and a bowl.”

Melinda did as she was told. Shifting
from one foot to the other, the child
watched her mother wrap the ice in a
towel and hold the compress against
her nose. Inside the mirror the subhu-
man creature was wearing a yellow
and purple mask.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1987
He was dressed and shaved by ten A.M.
“Take me with you, Daddy. Take me
with you.” Melinda threw her arms
around her father’s waist and buried
her face in his stomach.
His head throbbed. “Don’t whine.”
“Daddy, I don’t want to stay in the
house.” She looked at him, imploring.
Always, he took her on Sunday.

Cursing, he sent her flying agai
the sofa. “You'll eat when I get ba

Rob thought he had the
perfect marriage...
until he discovered the
incriminating letters in

Michelle’s drawer

By Margery D. Rosen

Introduced thirty-six years ago,

‘Can this marriage be saved?” is

the most popular, most enduring
women’s magazine feature in the
world. This month’s case is based
on interviews with clients and
information from the files of

Evelyn Moschetta, D.S.W., and Paul
Moschetta, D.S.W., a husband-
and-wife counseling team in

private practice in New York City and
Bay Shore, New York. The story
reported here is true, although
names and other details have been
changed to conceal identities.

Thad an afair

Michelle's tum

“I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE
it...Rob found the letters,
these very explicit love letters,
that Kevin wrote to me over the
last few months,” said Mi-
chelle, thirty-one, her voice
cracking and her eyes filling
with tears. “It’s really very
hard to talk about this. I feel
very confused and embar-
rassed. I know Kevin is only
seventeen, and most
people would be horri-
fied. But he doesn’t
seem young at all to
me. When he touches
me, I feel more special
than I’ve felt for years.
Finally, someone is
paying attention tome.
I’m important. I count.

“The letters were in
my top dresser drawer—cov-
ered by a nightgown. When I
walked in the door that night—
I'd been with Kevin, though I'd
told Rob I was going to a mov-
ie—Rob was just sitting there
in the living room staring at the
wall, and I knew immediately
what had happened.

“We got into this huge fight. I
thought Rob was going to

smash a hole in the wall or
something. And then we stayed
up all night talking, trying to
figure out what to do.

“It’s very scary; we’ve been
married for twelve years and
have three beautiful kids—
Rob, Jr., who’s ten, Lisa, eight,
and John, five. So if only for
their sake, we have to try to
work things out.

“How could this happen to
us? I met Rob at a disco when I
was sixteen. I think I fell in love
with him right then and there.
Rob is tall, dark and handsome.
He was also three years older
than me, a college guy.

“My parents adored him, too.
I come from a very close fam-
ily—you could say too close. Ev-
erybody has a say in everybody
else’s business. My father is
very tough. You don’t argue
with him. He owns his own dry-
cleaning business, and he
was—still is—bossy to my
mother. He’s never there for
her, though. If he’s not busy
with his job, he’s running all
over town doing things for his
mother, who lives upstairs. My
mother just takes it, too. And I
know that for years he’s had
affairs. (continued)

I was taking up too much of Rob’s time.
Rob never said a word in my defense.

“Still, we dated for three years, and
when Rob was a senior, we decided to
get married. Rob’s parents were furi-

think being a mother is the toughest
job in the world, and Michelle is a ter-
rific mother. But some women just
aren’t satisfied. And now this... this
affair . .. it doesn’t make sense.

“I guess I should talk a little about
my job. Well, selling is a lot harder
than I ever thought it would be. You
try so hard and work so long, and a
sale still falls through. It’s very frus-
trating, and sometimes I get these ter-
rible headaches. I feel so tight, so
tense, I just need to sleep or be left
alone. It’s not easy supporting a wife
and three kids on commission.

“Why can’t Michelle understand
that? I come home after working hard
all week, and on the weekend, I want
to rest or watch a ball game.

“Maybe it’s all my fault. Maybe I
don’t communicate. But I don’t like to

fight. If Michelle was so unhappy, why
didn’t she talk to me about it? I mean,
to start sleeping around, with a neigh-
bor’s kid, no less. How could she do this
to me? To our kids? Didn’t she think
about anyone besides herself?”

The counselors’ turn

“Our first step was to reassure this
couple that they were not the only
ones ever to confront—and overcome—
a problem of marital infidelity,” said
the counselors. “We also needed to con-
vince them that the affair—scandalous
and devastating as it was—was not
their main problem; rather, it was a
symptom of much unhappiness be-
neath the surface.

“Of course, before we could begin to
help, we told Michelle she had to stop
seeing Kevin. Reluctantly, she agreed.
(Incidentally, a few months after we
began counseling, Kevin graduated
from high school and moved away.)

“During our first few sessions, Mi-
chelle was tearful yet guarded, and we
could tell she was not only holding in a
great deal of anger but also wrestling
with a certain ambivalence: Though
deeply ashamed of her infidelity, she
also felt justified. The affair was her

time; now I want to take control of my
own life. So, hey, pay attention!’
What’s more, Kevin’s adoration gave
her ego a much-needed boost.

“It’s not surprising that she felt this
way. Michelle grew up in an environ-
ment where women were not taken se-
riously. Their primary—in fact, only—
function was to make a man happy.

“Michelle’s mother had little self-es-
teem, and she never spoke up, even to
protest being continually ignored by
Michelle’s father. This infuriated Mi-
chelle, who saw a similar pattern in
her own marriage.

“Rob, an adored only son, came from
a similarly sexist background. Caught
between an emotionally fragile mother
who would fall to pieces if he confided
in her and an authoritarian father who
terrified him, he learned to hold in his
feelings and grew up to be a passive
man who tended to sulk and brood
rather than face any of his problems
head-on.

“Still, Rob believed he was living out
the American dream in the suburbs. In
his mind, he was the ideal husband,
Michelle the ideal wife. Like many
men, Rob was not attuned to what was
going on, and he was completely

shocked by her infidelity.

“One of our goals was to help Mi-
chelle understand that her needs were
legitimate, that she had every right to
expect her husband to care about her
feelings and stand up for her if others
put her down. However, we also point-
ed out that the way in which she went
about making that point—having this
affair—was destructive to her own
self-esteem as well as to the foundation
of her marriage.

“Of course, Michelle first had to get
in touch with what she really wanted,
and this happened about six months
into counseling. Michelle started talk-
ing about how much she looked for-
ward to going to college once her chil-
dren were grown. ‘Why not go right
now?’ we asked.

“Michelle was stunned by our sug-
gestion: It had never occurred to her
that she could easily squeeze in classes
before the children arrived home from
school. So, motivated, she began tak-
ing courses toward her associate’s de-
gree in sociology at the local communi-
ty college.

“As her confidence grew, Michelle
realized she didn’t need other people’s
approval. One Sunday, when both sets
of in-laws were over for dinner, she
made the announcement that she was
going to go to college. For a second, the

conversation stopped, ‘and then some

Recommended by dermatologists, Neutrogena soaps are sen-

sitive to just what your skin needs to be at its healthy best.

OILY

You shine a little by noon,

and tend to have enlarged
pores and blackhead/
blemish incidents. Using an
oil-dissolving, astringent
soap is imperative. But
your skin is more sensitive
than you may think, so
choose an extra-mild bar
like Neutrogena Oily Skin
Formula. It won't overscrub
or irritate your skin.

NORMAL/COMBO

Your skin has a smooth,

even-pored nature. But you
are sensitive to both dry and
oily skin reactions. You
need a facial soap that can
cope gently with drier areas
and still cleanse oily areas
perfectly. Try Neutrogena
Original Formula. It leaves

your skin flawlessly clean,

safe from clogged pores.

DRY

Your skin is fine and deli-
cate. Sun, wind, cold, even
hearing the word “dry”
affects your skin! Avoid
ordinary cleansers, and use
a facial soap with special
emollients like Neutrogena
Dry Skin Formula. It is
extra gentle and rinses
flawlessly, protecting your
skin from dulling, drying
residue.

filled with hate and rage? We finally
uncovered the shocking answer

By Bonnie Harlow

suthor and her husband,
: their son Chris

), who was visiting ona
n the state hospital

‘C

very Monday morning I
wake up early, my heart
pounding with hope and
dread, love and fear. For
this is the day my husband,
Jim, and I are allowed to see
Chris, our fourteen-year-old son.
We drive an hour from our
home in Dallas to Terrell State
Hospital, where Chris lives in
the adolescent
unit. There, we
sit with him in
a therapist’s
office, hoping
that this time
we will finally
be able to get
through to him to help him.
When we brought Chris into
our lives eleven years ago, Jim
and I were idealistic twenty-five-
year-olds, ready to help save the
world. Because we had worked
with urban street kids, and I was
trained in social work, we decid-
ed that the best way to make our
contribution was to adopt “spe-
cial-needs” children—kids who
are difficult for adoption workers
to place. We were unable to have
any children of our own, so this
seemed like the perfect solution.
In 1978, we adopted three-
year-old Chris, an adorable little
boy with big brown eyes and a
mischievous grin. Although he
had been living in a foster home
for more than a year, Chris
showed no regret in leaving his
foster parents. Instead, he ran

ere afraid ofour son”

right up to us, shouting, “Hi,
Mom! Hi, Dad!” Years later, a
child psychologist would tell me
that Chris’s eagerness to leave
his foster parents for two virtual
strangers was a classic sign of an
“unattached child’”—a child un-
able to bond with his parents
and incapable of forming inti-
mate relationships.

But what I remember that day
was the overwhelming feeling of
love that swept through me
when Chris reached up to hug
me. It was so obvious that he
wanted to be our son.

Of course, we knew there
would be some risks with Chris.
The state social worker had told
us that Chris had been hit on the
thigh with a belt. But we weren’t
told that early abuse almost cer-
tainly means psychological prob-
lems or that Chris might need
child therapy. Instead, the social
worker kept telling us that all
Chris really needed was a good
home.-And the report on him sim-
ply said that he required “a moth-
er who stays at home and a father
who will spend a lot of time with
him.” Our situation was ideal—
Jim, a self-employed landscaper,
could take off all the time he
needed, and we could afford for
me to be a full-time mom.

At first, our new family
seemed perfect. “Chris loves to
laugh,” I wrote in my journal
after our second day together.
“He’s friends (continued)

», where Chris had lived with his

rt. It said that both of Chris’s par-
had a history of mental illness
that his father showed signs of
ophrenia. Horrified, Jim and I re-
d that Chris had a history we had
r been told about.
ce January 1988, Chris has been
errell State Hospital, where we
o move him after the psychiatric
ital informed us that they couldn’t
him. It’s hard to tell whether
is getting better, although he
have good days. The doctors are
in that he suffers from some sort

or another personality disorder—
they are treating him with low

weekly family therapy sessions

day now that we have to move him.
We can’t put him in another state
mental hospital, because our state just
doesn’t have the room or the services
to provide long-term care for adoles-
cents. Our last hope was a private
mental health clinic in Colorado that
specializes in treatment for abused
children. But the doctors at the clinic
felt it was probably too late to help
Chris. And our insurance won’t cover
any other private treatment program.

Yet even in the darkest moments with
Chris, I can still see the other side of
him. In one of our hospital therapy ses-
sions he came in with a long letter he
had written. “I act like I don’t care about
you, but I do... . I wish that I could trust
you, but for some reason I just can’t,” he
wrote. It was the only time since he had
been at the hospital that he expressed
any feeling of love.

In hopes that others would not have
to share our suffering, Jim and I filed
a lawsuit with six other adoptive cou-
ples last summer, asking a federal
court to overhaul the public adoption
system. We want parents to have the
right to see all information that a child
welfare department has (excluding the
names of the biological parents), and we
are demanding better training pro-
grams for adoptive parents and better

are abused and then adopted.
Although there are moments when I
wonder what our fight for Chris is ac-
complishing, I know I will never give
up. So I put my faith in God that Chris
will get better. And I keep on looking
for one more way to bring back the
sweet child we first knew. &

Adoption: the first step

If you're interested in adopting a special-needs
child, call The National Adoption Center (800-
TO-ADOPT) for details about the adoption

process and for the name of an adoptive parents’

support group in your area. Through the group,
you can talk with a couple who have adopted a
child with problems similar to those of the child
you're considering.

Although by law you may not be told the
names of the child’s birth parents, you should
demand all other information and records the
adoption agency or state has on the child. Also,
question the caseworker and the child’s foster
parents carefully. Ask how often the child has
been moved from home to home, whether he
was neglected, if there is a history of mental
illness in his family and, most important, if he
was abused at any time. —SKIP HOLLANDSWORTH

eet the lucky Journal readers who beat 6,300 women in this year’s Dove Classic Model

contest! The grand prize winner is Yvette Finkelstein, forty-seven (center, above). Yvette

was awarded $25,000 in cash, a $5,000 designer wardrobe by Louis Dell’Olio for Anne

Klein, and a one-year modeling contract from Faces Model Management. The runners-up

are, from left, Sharon Steakley, thirty-one, Angela Johnson, TE om Jan Brehm, thirty-

four, and Connie Richardson, thirty-seven. Read on for their prize beauty and fitness tips.

YWette Finkelstein

A busy mom of three from New Rochelle, New York,
Yvette is involved in community affairs, works free-lance as
a public relations writer and will also be completing
a master’s degree in counseling and personnel services. How
does she find time to take such good care of herself? She
steals an hour every morning to take a brisk walk,
which does wonders for body and skin. Her motivating
secret: She keeps her sweats and sneaks by her bed so she
can hop into them at 6:15 and go. Usually Yvette walks
alone so she can plan the day ahead. But sometimes she
walks with a friend—a great way to combine exercising and
socializing! Yvette’s careful to protect her skin at all times
with sunscreen; she drinks lots of water, and she washes her
face twice a day with Dove. How did Yvette decide
to enter the contest? “I saw the ad in LHJ, and my |
family really wanted me to enter,” said Yvette, “but | was |
too intimidated. Then on the day the contest entry was due, |
was in New York City and on a whim dropped by the Dove
offices. | had my pictures with me, and | almost walked right
back out with them until someone there convinced me to

leave them. I still can’t believe | won—it’s a fantasy!” >

Connie Richardson

Connie, an interior design-
er from St. Louis, let us in on
her can’t-live-without beauty
boosters: For long-lasting radi-
ance, Connie uses gel blush
topped with same-shade pow-
der blush. To keep her hair
glowing as well, she switches
shampoos once a week to elim-
inate buildup and add shine.
She cross-trains to work out all
her muscles, alternating walking
and riding a stationary bicycle.

runners-up

Sharon Steakley

This former Miss Tennessee found out about Dove from her dermatolo-
gist: Since she’s a Retin-A user, her doctor suggested she cleanse with a
gentle soap like Dove. Sharon loves a matte makeup look. Her best tip:
Apply loose powder with a cotton ball. Brush off excess. To keep up her
energy (she is director of talent for AIM Model and Talent Agency), Sharon
walks four miles a day, carrying one-pound hand weights.

Jan‘s an Oregon mom of two
young girls and a model and ac-
tress in commercials. She’s also
a fitness buff who runs three
miles every other day and does
Nautilus and aerobics. Her skin
has to look camera-perfect, so
she relies on drinking eight glass-
es of water a day (she livens it
up with lemon wedges). She ap-
plies eye cream every morning
and uses Retin-A on her nose and
forehead to tighten large pores
and even up her complexion.

Angela Johnson

Angela hails from Okla-
homa, has two daughters and
is a medical and dental claims
auditor, as well as a part-time
model. She keeps fit with aer-
obics and swimming, and
credits her good skin to eating
three nutritious meals a day.
She’s found that eating a
large lunch and a low-calorie
dinner helps her sleep better.
Her top beauty tip? She sets
her hair in rollers before
showering—the hot steam
helps set the curl.

the /step at-home facial

No need to get a salon facial to invigorate winter-dulled skin! We asked skin
expert Lia Schorr, author of Lia Schorr’s Seasonal Skin Care, for a guide to
beautifying your skin at home. Try it once a week for a radiant complexion.

] Wash hands thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Cleanse face with a liquid or cream cleanser. (If your skin is oily, try
Revion Clean and Clear Antiseptic Skin Cleansing Lotion for normal
to oily skin; Coty Overnight Success Refining Cream Cleanser is
great for dry fo very dry skin.) Apply cleanser to a cotton ball and
gently wipe up and down face. Rinse with warm water.

Refresh and smooth skin with a toner (such as Clarins Toning Lotion) to
remove any lingering traces of dirt and makeup.

Stimulate circulation with a quick massage. Pour a rich facial cream
or lotion (we like Oil of Olay Beauty Cream) on palm. Massage
cheeks with palms in a circular motion from center to hairline. Then
massage forehead. Next, apply cream to eye area. Move fingers
gently from outer to inner comers. Massage nose and upper lip with
index and middle fingers.

Steam face over a bowl of loose chamomile steeped in boiling water. Cover
face, head and bowl with a towel draped like a tent so steam won't escape.
Keep head ten inches from bowl, and steam for five minutes. For no-fuss
steaming, try a portable face steamer like EpiSauna by EPI Products.

Apply a masque to just-steamed face. Look for Avon Nurtura
Replenishing Mask for dry skin or Revlon Moon Drops Re-Texturing
Whole Egg Masque for all skin types. Leave masque on for at least
twenty minutes; rinse off with lukewarm water.

Smooth on a light moisturizer to protect and hydrate skin. We like Max
Factor Soft Moisture Moisturizing Lotion or Neutrogena Moisture non-
comedogenic facial moisturizer.

pounds, it doesn’t escape the camera’s eye. So the stars
depend on stylists for clothes that flaunt sleekness,

RS BD This golden girl has a lot
to sparkle about these days.
She can toss out her unflatter-
ing oversize tunics and pants
and slip into body-skimming
dresses and pantsuits. Accord-
ing to Judy Evans, designer for
The Golden Girls, “Bea's very
stately and wears clothes so
well.” Bea still favors layers,
not to hide pounds (like in her
heavier Maude days) but to
show off her ability to wear
dramatic fashions.

I Before Oprah lost sixty-
seven pounds she buried her
bulk behind skillfully draped
silhouettes. Her tricks? Low-
cut necklines to slim her
face, and oversize shoulder
pads to balance hips and
derriere. Now Oprah shows
off her great shape in skinny
skirts, waist-defining belts
and even jeans—she cele-
brated her fabulous new
figure on her show by wear-
ing size 10 Calvins!

looks so terrific. Charlene

gained a bit, she’s not
giving up her penchant
for splashy styles in hot

she goes for even more
glamour and glitz, and
more revealing down-to-

a smashing real-

with his own

little one

; t was just the type of Tom-foolery to make Magnum grin.

The birth of Tom Selleck’s first baby was Hollywood’s most special delivery since the
arrival of Cybill Shepherd’s twins—but it happened two months ahead of schedule.
Little Hannah Margaret Mack Selleck arrived in December instead of
February, to the complete surprise of the outwitted press.

That was precisely what her privacy-craving parents had hoped. Tom
and his wife, actress/dancer Jillie Mack, had quietly entered a Los
Angeles hospital for the caesarean delivery of their eight-pound seven-
ounce daughter. Even after the birth was announced, the media were
kept in the dark as to the hospital’s name and location, permitting the
family to celebrate without the click of cameras and reporters’ endless questions.

The star of last year’s boffo Three Men and a Baby is determined that his infant will grow
up normally and happily outside the spotlights of Tinseltown—and he decided that birth
was a good time to begin.

Even the name of the family’s new home—Hidden Valley—befits their desire to be left
alone. Last fall, when the former Magnum, PJ. star and his wife packed up _ (continued)

explains. “But the feeling was al-

uld it be that Selleck had also be-

gale supposed to have them, and
les, Jillie (the one with the real
dological Timex) is only thirty
3 old. Nonetheless, Tom says be-
jortysomething has as much of an
t on a man as a woman.

’'s not exactly the same, since men

} 1 knew that I didn’t want to be an
man when I was out having fun
' my kids.” Tom could envision
elf playing ball with his child,
he jokes that he didn’t want to be
ecrepit to do it.

ou start thinking about all that at

forty, when your eyes start going,” he
continues. “Those things affect you in a
lot of ways...you think about how
you're not getting any younger.”

Hannah Selleck is Tom’s first biolog-
ical child, but he already considers
himself an experienced father. During
his first marriage, to model Jacquelyn
Ray, he helped raise her son, Kevin,
from the time the boy was a toddler.
Now a twenty-year-old college student,
Kevin was a frequent visitor on the
set of Her Alibi.

Selleck expects to be every bit as
much a hands-on father this time
around. “How will I raise my child?”
He pauses and becomes lost in thought
for a moment. “Hopefully by example,”
he answers. “I don’t believe in the ‘do-
as-I-say-but-not-as-I-do’ method. I’ve
already raised Kevin, and two of my
siblings are several years younger
than I am, so I’ve done a lot of home-
work in that area.”

That Selleck is delighted about be-
ing a father is clear. But back when he
and Jillie first announced their happy
news, the tabloids buzzed with reports
that the pregnancy was an attempt to
save their failing marriage. One story
implied that the couple had been
spending so little time together, they
were practically separated. Another
claimed Selleck had been having an
affair with a Honolulu stripper. The
star still bristles at these accounts.

“The supermarket tabloids are truly
stressful to our relationship—when we
see something that’s a flat-out, mali-
cious lie,” he says angrily. “Though
Jillie understands, it’s hard for her to
take. People say, ‘Oh, that goes with
the territory,’ or ‘What does he expect,
making all that money?’ Nice glib
statements, which they aren’t qualified
to make.”

Even before his wedding, Tom
sounded like a strict constructionist
about marital vows. “The only way
marriage works is with fidelity,” he
said. “And while that’s not easy, none
of the commitments to marriage are.
Infidelity is a blow to the trust two
people ought to have when they’re to-
gether, and it can end up destroying
that relationship.”

Even the portrayal of an indiscretion
can place a strain on a marriage, as
Tom found out while shooting Her Ali-
bi. Pregnant Jillie was often present
on the Baltimore set of the movie, in
which Selleck plays a novelist who has
an affair with a mysterious woman,
portrayed by the curvaceous supermo-
del/starlet Paulina Porizkova. Selleck
readily admits that his on-screen sexu-
al chemistry with the stunning Pau-
lina would make any real-life wife a
bit uncomfortable.

New anti-lock brakes
now standard on Safari.

In any mini-van, the one thing
between you and the unexpected
is your brakes. You want the best
system available.

That’s why Safari comes
equipped with electronic rear-
wheel anti-lock brakes designed to.
help prevent rear-wheel “lock-up”
and help control skidding on sud-
den stops under a varietyof road

-~sgurface conditions.

It works like this: An engine-
compartment-mounted control unit
reads signals from a rear-wheel
speed sensor to sense impending
wheel lock. When necessary it con-
trols hydraulic pressure at the rear
wheels to help prevent lock-up.

Your stops are sure and stable.

So when you're shopping for a
mini-van, you need to ask about
anti-lock brakes. Many don't even

offer them at all, but Safari gives

They’re blubbering into their Bellinis at Spago, and keen-
ing over their sidecars at the Rainbow Room. The starlets
have lost some of their twinkle lately in trendy hangouts
from coast to coast, now that so many big bachelors are
biting the dust.

In recent months, several of Hollywood’s megawatt men-
about-town—Tom Selleck, Burt Reynolds, Corbin Bernsen,
Bruce Willis and Michael J. Fox—have not only married
but become fathers (although not necessarily in that or-
der). Their newfound pleasure in paternity mirrors that of
lots of ordinary guys; in this case, Tin-
seltown may actually be—gasp—late
to embrace a trend

But if La-La-Land’s baby boom is
late-blooming, it’s still spawned a host
of settled-down stars:

INeKKS ee

/ We've heard it all many times: Parents should never
fight in front of the children ... they should present a
united front at all times. But how often is this possible?
In real life, that is. Parents are not carbon copies of each
other, and disagreements are bound to arise about
everything from discipline and table manners to curfews and chores. What's crucial is
not whether, but how, you fight. If you handle it right, kids learn an invaluable
lesson—that parents can argue and make up, that they can express anger and hurt
and still end up with loving feelings. Here, some rules for fighting in front of the kids.

ty of questions. Such as:

Hl Don't let the kids divide and conquer. If you do, they'll play one parent
off against the other, and everyone will lose. You don‘t want your kids to
become the go-betweens.
Mi When you're really furious—not just angry or annoyed—take a
cooling-off period. Don’t rush into saying really hurtful things.
WB Don’t threaten (“I’m moving out.” “Maybe we should get a divorce.”’)
Mi Some things should be handled in private. For example, don’t fight about disciplinary
methods in front of the children. ,
Mi Use disagreements as opportunities to show kids how to solve problems. When they
observe you resolving fights without blame, you provide them with a powerful example of how
to negotiate, compromise and use anger constructively.
Hi Try to see fights as a chance to work together as a team. After the air has cleared,
remember that your spouse is not your worst opponent but your best ally!

BABY B20 American Academy of Pediatrics

(AAP): Not only are such programs unnecessary, they can be harmful.
“Nigorous or extreme movement, pulling or stretching, especially
when you—not the child—are in control, can lead to dislocations,
stress fractures, or muscle and ligament tears,” notes Michael A.
Nelson, M.D., a pediatrician in private practice in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, and chairman of the AAP’s sports-medicine committee. “But
many parents today think that they have to give their kids an edge
and that starting early with such programs will enhance a child’s
physical development. That's just not true.” So what does the AAP
prescribe: Lots of love, unstructured playtime, and face-to-face con-
tact. “Babies get enough exercise just being babies,” adds Nelson.

MAKES SENSE TO US

Lending a hand to working parents while
at the same time upgrading child care for
America’s kids is the aim of two pro-
family bills pending before Congress. The
Parental Leave Act would guarantee par-
ents a period of unpaid, job-protected
leave to care for a newborn, newly adopt-
ed or seriously ill child. The Act for Better
Child Care Services would make child care
more available and affordable. These bills
came up last year, but they didn’t pass.
What could tip the balance, say legisla-
tors, is support from constituents. If
you'd like to see these bills become law,
write your representatives. Now.

Art museums are probably the most difficult
for parents to approach. It’s hard to pay
attention to the paintings when you’re
convinced that at any moment the baby will
lob her bottle of apple juice at a priceless
abstract. But art educators agree: Don’t
shortchange kids by keeping them away-from
art museums, even if they’re very young.
Stop and shop Make your first call
the museum gift shop and let children choose
a few postcard reproductions of the works
on display. Then see who can find those
works in the museum.

Make it personal As you enjoy the

exhibit yourself, talk about the pictures. Comments like “Oh, look! A

interest your child, and try to make it meaningful for her.

Inspire your own Van Gogh Point out similarities between a
child’s art efforts at home and the pictures in an exhibition. Children will
get ideas for their own artwork—making a play-dough sculpture as smooth
as the sculpture they saw at the museum, for example.

Have older children sketch an item for a few minutes, then have them
turn away and keep on drawing to test powers of observation. With older
kids, too, you can explain that artists often arrange people in groups that
form triangular shapes, and look for those. Or talk about the concepts of
texture and color, the different materials used to achieve various effects.
Know when to quit Don’t overdo a good thing. Keep your visit
short (under an hour if children are very young), make sure everyone wears
comfy shoes, and find out where the bathrooms are before you start out!

Think a calcvum-rich diet means you can
stop worrying about bone loss?

Here’ an experts rundown on what you
really need to know

steoporosis affects fifteen million to twenty million women in America.
It’s responsible for 1.2 million bone fractures each year. Yet osteoporosis
is a subtle, silent disease—difficult to detect until the most devastating
damage has been done. Only then, when it’s often too late for preventive
measures, are the results of bone loss all too obvious.

There is good news: Most people can protect themselves from osteoporosis.
New findings are being made every day about the factors that lead to bone
loss. The first step is to evaluate your level of risk. The following questions
have been specially formulated to calculate your chances of developing
debilitating bone loss. After you’ve computed your score, whether you find
you're in a high-risk category or not, keep reading. Our bone-saving
prescriptions are your insurance against osteoporosis.

By omitting milk and milk products from your diet, you are
missing out on nature’s best source of calcium. Young people
who don’t drink milk will never reach their peak bone mass,
and older people will be less able to ward off bone loss in
later years. If you’re lactose intolerant, be sure to take
calcium supplements.

Regularly (0 risk points)
Not often (3 risk points)
Most experts believe that regular exercise—especially ex-
ercise that causes your body to work against weight resis-
tance or the force of gravity—will help build up your bones.

5. Do you eat a diet excessively high in animal protein

No (0 risk points)

Yes (2 risk points)

There is evidence that anytime the proportion of protein in
your diet exceeds 20 percent, too much calcium may be
washed out of your system through your urine.

No (0 risk points)

Yes (3 risk points)

There’s more than enough salt contained naturally in our
foods. The effect of salt is worse if you’re a postmenopausal
woman because excessive salt consumption washes out
much-needed calcium from the body through urine.

Fiber is certainly an important part of your diet, but too
much fiber (more than 35 to 60 grams per day) can work

Steroids, which are often taken to treat rheumatoid arthritis
and asthma, act against osteoblasts, or bone-forming cells.
Studies have shown that those who take steroids for three
years or longer may have as much as a 70 percent chance of
getting osteoporosis. In fact, significant bone loss may occur
after only six months on steroids.

You have an inherited predisposition to osteoporosis if one of

Small-boned people simply have less bone. So when the

Nearly 8 million dogs and cats have to be put to death
each year because nobody wants them. You can do your
part to control animal overpopulation if you have your pet
spayed or neutered, says animal lover Willard Scott, who
helped launch the “Prevent A Litter” program of the
Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).

\ you thinking of letting your cat have kittens “so the kids can see the miracle of

birth’? Maybe your dog had an unplanned litter, but you figure it’s okay: You've
heard it’s healthy for the mother, and besides, those puppies were so cute.

This sort of slipshod, sentimental thinking often leads to tragedy, when millions of
unwanted animals must be put to sleep each year because they cannot find homes.

Many pet owners have such mistaken ideas about animal reproduction, says Kate Rindy,
a spokesperson for HSUS. For example, having a litter provides no benefit, and it even has
a negative consequence. Unspayed female dogs are more likely to get breast cancer. And as
for letting your pets have puppies or kittens as a biology lesson for the children, Rindy
says, it is simply too cruel a means of instruction. We haven't the right to bring additional
animals into the world for this purpose if it means other animals will die.

To help make the public aware of the situation, the Humane Society of the United States
has declared April to be Prevent A Litter Month. All month long, shelters around the
country will be joining with HSUS to provide information and reduced-cost operations.

For more information, contact your local shelter, or send a stamped, self-addressed
envelope to Companion Animal Dept., Box LHJ, The Humane Society of the United
States, 2100 L Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20037.

your pet's health

Mi TUNA VS. BEEF Food can affect a cat's
behavior—and maybe its health—reports
a group of Cornell University researchers. In
a recent study, reported in the Journal of
Toxicology and Environmental Health, a
group of kittens fed an all-tuna diet for six
months were less playful and active than
another group, which were fed only beef.
(Canned cat food was used.) What caused
the difference? According to Katherine A.
Houpt, V.M.D., Ph.D., one of the
researchers, the subdued behavior might be
a form of neurological damage due to an
excess of mercury in the tuna. Her
recommendation: You should probably
avoid feeding an all-tuna diet, no matter
how much kitty craves it.

Wl BIRD’S-EYE VIEW The cat who swallows
the canary may get quite sick, according to
the newsletter Perspectives on Cats. Last
spring a number of domestic cats in the
Northeast contracted a condition known as
songbird fever when they preyed on infected
birds flying north for the annual migration.
Some cats were affected after just being
near bird feeding sites. All the cats
recovered in a week, but the symptoms
were grim: high fever, loss of appetite,
lethargy and vomiting. And the disease may
strike again this year. Researchers aren't
sure what causes the illness, but some
believe the infected birds carried a
salmonella virus. Prevention: Keep your
kitty indoors, and if you have a bird feeder
in your yard, disinfect it.

Everyone hates trying to coax a squirming cat into a carrier. The instant the

cat realizes you haven’t got affection in mind, she'll bolt, but probably not

before she’s inflicted a few scratches. According to Michael Garvey, D.V.M.,

of the Animal Medical Center, New York City, you can avoid injury by picking

her up by the scruff of the neck, so she can’t reach you with her claws.

Stephen Cole, D.V.M., of the Cole Animal Clinic, New York City, offers anoth-

h , er option. Grab the cat’s front paws in one

Ca C G Ca hand and the back paws in the other and,
holding the cat upside down, quickly lower
her into the carrier. In either case, advises

lone in the apartment while her hus-

band is out of town, Karen settles down

to work on a crossword puzzle. Sudden-

road ice cream sitting in the freezer.

It is calling her name. “Stop that,” she tells

herself. “Don’t ruin what you’ve got going.” Ka-

ren is on a sensible diet and has stopped eating

sweets and fatty foods. She is losing weight and

has every reason to continue her improved diet

and no reason to go back to her former habits.

Yet the more Karen tries to resist, the stronger

her craving becomes.

Three months ago, Sarah be-

yet, and Sarah’s bed feels like a warm, comfort-

throwing off her covers, donning layers of cloth-

her daily miles. She wants to roll over, yank
the blankets over her head and go back to

your success. Then, when you are ready for the next step,
repeat the process with the card for the next step.

Achievement awards

Exercising your will, gaining control of your life or complet-
ing a project is its own reward. So is losing weight, earning
a college degree, finishing a writing assignment or run-
ning a 10K road race. There’s no doubt about the sense of
satisfaction and accomplishment you feel when you finally
reach your destination. Unfortunately, the promise of fu-
ture gains and the pleasant feelings produced by achieving
a long-term goal are not enough to counter willpower
shortages you are experiencing here and now. Sometimes
even the pride and confidence boost found in completing a
small step toward your goal is not enough either. In those
instances, your will must be pushed into action by offering
yourself tangible rewards for progress made.

@ Things you give yourself—a paperback novel, a pair of
shoes, a cassette tape. The item often is something you
already plan to get. To strengthen willpower, wait to buy it
until you need a willpower reward.

@ Activities you enjoy—hot bubble baths, watching an old
movie, taking a nap. If your will is weakening, set an
achievable goal and offer yourself the activity as a reward.
@ Words of praise—encouragement and support delivered
by friends, family or colleagues. Go public with your step
toward improvement and bask in the verbal stroking.

Temptation alternatives

While rewards can get you to do something you could not
find the resolve to do, temptation alternatives stop you
from doing something you have an irresistible urge to do,
often working where sheer will cannot. By the time you
complete your temptation alternative, you may find that
the urge to break training has passed.

@ Instead of giving in to temptation, you can make a
telephone call, go for a walk, write in your journal, go to
the library, visit a friend, clean a closet, sort through old
photographs, do a crossword puzzle, watch a movie or play
a cassette tape and dance until you drop.

@ The activity you choose must occupy your mind or body
sufficiently to distract you from the temptation you want to
resist. It doesn’t hurt to choose temptation alternatives
that take thirty minutes or more to complete.

& Make a list of temptation alternatives. When you feel
your willpower weakening, do something on your list. If
the urge persists, try another temptation alternative and
another. Eventually, either the urge will leave you or you
will get tired of distracting yourself. Your resolve will
return when you say, “Enough. This compulsion is ruining
my day, and I won’t put up with it for one more minute!”

Forgive yourself

The final will booster is forgiveness. Forgiveness prevents
a single willpower failure from short-circuiting an entire
plan. Grant yourself the right to be human and therefore
imperfect. Acknowledge where you went wrong, but also
remind yourself of all the right moves you made before.
Tell yourself you succeeded before and can succeed again.
Instead of taking a long, self-destructive detour back to
square one, forgive yourself and get right back on track.

Massachusetts and the author of numerous books.

s soon as they saw the farmhouse, Ken and Lisa Crawford
knew it would be the perfect place to live while they built
their dream home nearby. Set back from a quiet road near the
small town of Fernald, Ohio, the white wood building looked
like a house in a Norman Rockwell painting.

“Before that, we had lived in a one-bedroom apartment,”
Lisa recalls. “But out here, we thought, there would
be lots of room, a garden, clean healthy air, clean
healthy water.”

Across the road from the farmhouse was an in-
nocuous-looking facility called the Feed Materials
Production Center, with a cheerful red-and-white
checkerboard pattern painted on its two water
towers. “I didn’t know what they did there,” says Lisa, thirty-two. “I

and only a few Delta Steel workers
had. The Knollman Dairy Farm well
served only two families—one of them
the Crawfords. Lisa grew increasingly
fearful and angry as she listened to the
federal Department of Energy (DOE)
statistics on uranium levels in the well
that served her home. At the time, the
uranium level was more than thirty
times the proposed federal safety limit.
And though Lisa did not know a great
deal about environmental issues, she
knew that those abstract numbers

could mean cancer or death for herself

and her family.

The Crawfords learned something
else as well: The Feed Materials Pro-
duction Center, far from being produc-
ers of pet food, was actually a DOE
facility that manufactured components
for nuclear warheads and uranium
rods for nuclear reactors. The radioac-
tive waste, a by-product of the manu-
facturing process, had leached into the
well after being buried in pits near
Ken and Lisa’s home.

And that was not all. Incredibly, the
government appeared to have known for
years about the uranium levels in the
well—but had kept the information se-
cret from those it affected the most.

“The data had come from a U.S. geo-
logical survey that had been done for

the years 1981 and 1982,” Lisa says.
“Somebody should have told us. They
made a choice for me and my family
that we should have been able to make
for ourselves.”

A private agony

During the following weeks, the Craw-
fords’ fears grew as they wondered
what to do next. Ken lost sixteen
pounds in thirty days. “I couldn’t eat
or sleep,” he says. “I couldn’t remem-
ber driving to work or driving home.
To me, it was as if we'd been given a
death sentence.”

Most worrisome of all were the pos-
sible long-term effects of being exposed
to so much uranium. Clusters of cancer
had begun appearing in the Fernald
area in the mid-1960s, and studies con-
ducted at Johns Hopkins University
and Howard University found that the
death rate from colon cancer in the
Cincinnati area is 21 percent higher
than the national average; the breast
cancer death rate is 31 percent higher.
Hamilton County, where Cincinnati
and Fernald are located, ranks among
the top 2 percent in the U.S. in
death rates from liver, lung and bladder
cancer. The Crawfords began to notice
the headlines about other “time bomb”
communities—about the (continued)

A LIVING NIGHTMARE

oactive wastes from the Hanford
lear-weapons plant, in Richland,
shington, and the Savannah River
plex, in Aiken, South Carolina—in-
nts that seemed almost as fright-
ig as the Three Mile Island nuclear
dent in 1979....

e couple tried to hide their con-
s from their son, but seven-year-
Kenny sensed his parents’ panic,
he-had nightmares about drinking
water and dying. Fearful and con-
d, the Crawfords consulted Stanley
ley, a lawyer whom Lisa’s boss
mmended. In January 1985, the
fords became representatives in a
million class-action suit against
ional Lead of Ohio (NLO), the
t’s operator, on behalf of the four-
thousand people living within a
mile radius of the facility.

gal battle

suit seeks damages for the loss in
e of the Fernald residents’ proper-
nd for the mental anguish they
red. It does not seek damages for
th effects, because it is difficult to
ect cancer with the levels of radia-
to which the Crawfords and the
r residents have been exposed. But
suit asks that money be set aside
any future health problems and

wanted to shed some light on the
lem,” Lisa says of the suit. “The
rtment of Energy and NLO had to
posed. They were wrong to withhold
information from us. Deep in my
, | know it’s wrong. People have
sed me of being money hungry, but
oney has nothing to do with this.”
sa became active in FRESH and
nded monthly meetings, communi-
‘atherings and government hear-
, while her supportive husband
ed home with their son. In Sep-
ser 1985, when Kathy Meyer, the
der of FRESH, had a baby, Lisa
over as the group’s spokesperson,
ying detailed notes on plant activi-
issuing news releases and setting
ting agendas. And in January
>, when Westinghouse took over
yperation of the plant, she and an-
r FRESH member began negotiat-
for a siren system and an evacua-
plan. Such activism wasn’t typical
lisa, but her attitude had been
aged by her family’s ordeal. “When
ething like this happens,” she
, you get mad, and then you get
off your duff and do something.”
> year, she flew to Washington to
fy before Congress; it was the first

time she had traveled on an airplane
or outside the Midwest.

Meanwhile, the Crawfords had fin-
ished their home and left the farm-
house, three months after they found
out about their well. “I felt a little better
living in our new home, which is two and
a half miles away from the plant,” Lisa
says. “But if we'd known all that we
know now, we'd have never built this
house here. Instead of being a dream
house, it’s just become a nightmare.”

Criticism—and support

There were other problems, too. Lisa’s
activism didn’t have the community’s
unqualified backing. “People would say
to us, ‘You need to go home and sit down
and shut up, because you're just a bunch
of stupid housewives who are out raising
hell.’ They have this misconception that
it was our fault that their property val-
ues are going down, not the plant’s fault.
But we are the victims here. We are not
the ones who caused the problem.” Lisa
has even been the target of harassment
while grocery shopping. While at the
supermarket one day with her family,
Lisa was followed by a woman who
glared at her and told Ken she wanted to
spit on Lisa.

But Lisa has many supporters as
well. Last July 4, when Cincinnati cel-

ebrated its bicentennial, Lisa was vot-
ed one of two hundred Greater Cincin-
natians. She was presented with a
medal in recognition of her outstand-
ing contribution to the Greater Cincin-
nati community.

Finally, more than three years after the
lawsuit was filed, the Crawfords had their
first taste of victory. Department of Ener-
gy lawyers representing NLO acknowl-
edged in court papers filed late last year
that there had been uranium leakages at
the plant for far longer than even Lisa had
supposed—in fact, since the plant had
opened, in 1951. In the years following,
more than one hundred tons of uranium
had been released into the air, and seven-
ty-four tons had been dumped into a local
river. The DOE lawyers also acknowl-
edged that another 337 tons of the deadly
material could not be accounted for. *

But the stunning admission did not
mean an end to the case. The DOE
lawyers, in the court papers, also said
NLO should not be held responsible for
the radioactive leakage, because the
company had operated the facility
within the safety guidelines of its con-
tract with the DOE.

icky, a high school
guidance _ counselor
from Newport Beach,
California, has been mar-
ried for eight years and
wants to make it clear she
isn’t complaining about her
husband, Rick. In many
ways, he’s a good man—
dependable, faithful, hard-working.
Sexually, he’s always been very at-
tentive, and even now that they have
two young children, they still make
love two or three times a week.
Vicky says she knows that Rick
loves her, but he just doesn’t show it.
Rick never wants to sit and talk or
cuddle after the kids have gone to
bed; he never holds her hand while
theyre out walking, puts his arm

around her when she looks depressed
or offers to rub her back when she’s
had a hard day. In fact, the only time
he demonstrates any affection at all
is when they’re making love.

“Look, I don’t need candlelight and
flowers,” Vicky says. “I don’t need
Rick to tell me he loves me all the
time. But I love to hug and touch—to
me, being affectionate and loving isa

Here’s how you can

tender? Is that too much to ask?”

Vicky is not alone in her yearning
for a little more tenderness from the
man in her life. When Southern
Methodist University professor Mi-
chael E. McGill, Ph.D., surveyed 737
men and 646 women across the coun-
try for his book, The McGill Report
on Male Intimacy (Holt, 1985), he
found that “with few exceptions,
women wanted men to be more ex-
pressive of their emotions and feel-
ings, their love.”

“It’s a ubiquitous complaint that
husbands are not as tender as women
would like,” confirms Bonnie Maslin,
Ph.D., a New York City psychothera-
pist and coauthor of Not Quite Para-
dise: Making Marriage Work (Faw-
cett, 1988).

What exactly is this tenderness so
many women seek? That depends.

romance ... the small touches and
gestures through which a man says,
“You matter to me.”

“Most women want to feel de-
sired, but without tenderness, love
seems incomplete,” says Marilyn J.
Mason, Ph.D., training director of
the Family Therapy Institute, in St.
Paul, Minnesota. Why is that so hard
for men to understand?

How men learn to love

“When Russ and I were first mar-
ried, ’'d go out of my way to show
him how much I cared,” recalls
Beth, thirty, a part-time bookkeep-
er in Portland, Oregon. “I'd buy him
a silly present if I knew he was
upset—but he never did anything
like that for me.

“You know how sometimes, when
you're reading in bed, you want to
reach out and touch the other per-
son?” she continues. “Well, not
Russ; he’d squirm and sometimes
even move my hand away. He never
touched me except during sex. I
thought, What’s wrong with me?
Maybe he doesn’t love me.”

Unfortunately, says Michael
McGill, reactions like Beth’s are all
too common. Certainly, wives as
well as husbands are sometimes
guilty of not treating their mates
tenderly. Still, he points out, for
most women there is a direct con-
nection between emotion and ac-
tions. When a woman feels loving,
she acts that way. And when her
husband fails to behave similarly,
when he seems distant, it’s perfect-
ly natural for her to wonder wheth-
er he really does love her.

He usually does, but in his own
way. The vast majority of men fail to
give their wives the kind of tender
loving care they seek simply because
they have no idea what it is, how to

do it, or even why it matters.

“Some of men’s difficulty express-
ing tenderness has its beginnings in
earliest infant development,” sug-

gests Lillian B. Rubin, Ph.D., a psy-
chologist in Berkeley, California,
and author of Intimate Sirangers:
Men and Women Together (tarper
and Row, 1984). “A baby’s first
dentification and sense of self is
connected to its primary caretaker,

who is usually the mother,” she ex-
plains. “Eventually, both male and
female children separate from
mother to achieve a healthy sense
of self. But: for a male child, estab-
lishing his gender identity requires
that he really cut off his initial
identification with his mother.
What may also get left behind is his
identification with those qualities
he associates with her, qualities
such as nurturing and softness.”

Then, too, boys and girls learn
very different lessons about love and
loving behavior. Girls are taught to
be free about expressing emotion and
feelings. They learn to nurture and
to do caring things, to exchange con-
fidences, secrets and stories. But
boys are pushed in a different direc-
tion, one in which independence is
stressed over interdependence. And
touch, the easy physical affection so
customary between little girls, is
strictly taboo—little boys wrestle
and tussle but do not walk arm-in-
arm, kiss or fix each other’s hair.

“Men are taught to be macho,”
says Michael McGill, “to always be
saying, I can handle things myself.’ ”
In such a world, action takes prece-
dence over feeling: “Men are reward-
ed for how well they think and make
decisions,” points out Marilyn Ma-
son, “not for how well they feel.”

As a result, most men grow up
without knowing the kinds of emo-
tional closeness and exuberant dis-
plays of love that come so naturally
to women. When they want to ex-

press their love, they often do so with
the kind of practical behavior for
which they’ve always been rewarded.

“A woman will want a tender ges-
ture from her man, and he'll want to
give it to her,” notes Lillian Rubin,
“so he'll go wash her car. And then
he can’t figure out why she isn’t
more appreciative.”

Of course, for many men, showing
love means making love. Only then
are they able to touch, to let their
guard down and feel intimate. “For
these men,” says McGill, “sex is the
context in which all closeness is ex-
pressed.” For other men, romantic
gestures are simply the means to an
end. These fellows may send flowers
and dance attendance on a woman
they’re chasing, but once they've won
her, they reason, what’s the point?

Does lack of tendemess matter?

Not surprisingly, this inability to ex-
press love through tenderness can
cause a real rift within a marriage.
Indeed, when the bedroom is the only
arena for expressing affection—when
the wife who longs for a hug, a kiss
or a touch finds that those gestures
are given only as a prelude to mak-
ing love—sex itself may become a
source of resentment. It’s not uncom-
mon for a woman who feels this way
to shut herself off from. her husband
sexually—which in turn leaves him
feeling rejected and angry.

True tenderness, after all, is one of

given. “I once told my husband how

“Now he'll occasionally do the same
thing, and it touches me. It shows he
pays attention to what I tell him. He
doesn’t bring me flowers, which every
woman is supposed to like; he brings
something specifically for me.”

‘I think it’s important for women to
realize that they are entitled to tender-
ness from their loved ones,” says Mari-
lyn Mason. “And I also think that deep
down, most men are really hungry for
that kind of emotional connection, too.”

Fortunately, experts agree, men can
learn to be tender. The first step in the

teaching process, whether it is done
wife alone or in the course of ma
counseling, is for a woman to si
speak up. It’s a common myth that
love means having a partner who
simply intuit your needs, but in
people don’t know what we want
we tell them. A wife must make cle
her husband just what her needs
tenderness are, and why they’re so
portant to her.

What women can do

To express such feelings successfi
though, she has to share somethi
herself, not attack her man for b
insensitive. “If you say, ‘When we
making love and you turn away rai
than hold me, I feel lonely,’ you’re
accusing him, you're revealing
thing about yourself,” says Bonnie
lin. “And that can make an eno
impact on how he responds.”

“Women can also help men be
more emotionally sensitive by provi

or ‘Last night, I really missed yo
says Marilyn Mason. “You nee
make a lot of ‘I feel’ statements.”

nability of the eyes to focus sharply on

Crystalline Lens
_ Presbyopia is caused by a hardening of the crys-
talline lens that robs the lens of its ability to
properly focus light passing through the eye.
Presbyopia becomes noticeable at around
age 40 and grows progressively more pro-
nounced with increasing age. Presby-
opia makes the lens function like a
fixed-focus camera: The eye can
take sharp pictures of distant
objects, but things up close to
about three feet away come
out dim and blurred.

course, is the obvious, annoying segment line.
Secondly, while bifocals do correct for near and
far, they can't help at all in the critical intermedi-
ate vision range.

VARILUX, the proven, “lineless” alternative
to bifocals.

Millions of presbyopes all over the world are
now wearing anew kind of lens that makes bifo-
cals obsolete.

_ focusing sharply on things in the “intermediate”

‘Why VARILUX, not bifocals,
are the best
answer to presbyopia.

These lenses are called “progressive addition
lenses,’ and they are manufactured by VARILUX,
the world leader in progressive lens technology.

Unlike bifocals, Varilux lenses let you see clearly
at all distances. That's because Varilux contain
not just two, but an almost infinite number of
corrections, each flowing smoothly and invisi-
bly, one into the other. So with Varilux your vision
flows naturally and clearly from near, to inter-
mediate, to far away. Without disconcerting

how to look good in the rain

on‘t wait for the gray clouds of April showers to
gather overhead—March is the time to hit the stores
for the best selection in wet-weather wear. Tip for
trendsetters: You must shop early if you wani to
snare the high-style coats. Stores stock fewer of
these, sell them out fast.

This year’s toppers are bright-colored coats in soft,
swingy shapes. Newsy now—the mini trench, cut full
with a just-below-the-knee length in hot shots of coral,
cobalt, lemon and lime. And you don’t have to sacrifice
style just because you want the coverage of the
traditional full-length trench. Key for updating this
classic? New neutrals—olive, loden, stone and oys-
ter—combined with a slightly oversize. longer cut give
the topcoat fashion-forward flair.

What about your head and feet? Water-repellent
scarves (reversible, with cotton on one side, natural
linen on the other) like those by Drizzle are all the
rage for keeping your hair dry. Or opt for a floppy
faux-taffeta sailor hat by Patricia Underwood. And
to top it all off, pick up a polka-
dot or floral pattern umbrella.

Calvin Klein’s got you covered
right down to your toes. Check
out his calf-length rubber boots in
black, red, putty and yellow

}

Read the tag to be sure the coat is labeled water-
repellent or waterproof before you buy.

Water-repellents such as Zepel or silicone provide
rainproof finishes on fabrics, including the newest linens
and silk chamois. (Such finishes must be professionally
reapplied after four or five dry cleanings.)

New featherweight fabrics make raincoats
lightweight and easy-to-wear, but consider buying one
with a zip-out lining or
a sewn-in interlining for
extra warmth during
cold-weather wear.

THE ESSENTIALS

Be sure you have a large soft
tote bag. You'll be carrying it
everywhere, so you don’t have
to keep going back to your
room to change. What to pack:

B® headbands, a sun hat

IB shorts and T-shirts

BB jogging suit (get one with
zippered pockets for change,
your schedule and your

watch)

B® running shoes, walking
shoes, aerobics shoes

~ Bleotards and tights
I support bra

BB thick socks

B® bathing suit

@ heavy sweaters for

® reading material

Dress codes for meals vary from
spa to spa. At some, a jogging
suit is okay in the dining room.
Elsewhere, diamonds are de
rigueur. Ask before you go.

Choosing a spa
There are basically three kinds ot spas, with three different approaches.
Choose one according to what you want out of your vacation.

Resort spas: Do your own thing
At a resort spa program you'll join a coed group as one part of a huge hotel
complex, with sprawling acres of tennis and racquetball courts, golf courses,
running tracks, diet lectures and dancing after dark. All the exercise classes and
beauty treatments you want are available. Sometimes there will be a separate
dining room for spa guests, which makes it a
bit easier to stick to low-calorie meals. A
resort spa is ideal for a couple if only one of
you is dieting. But if you’re short on motiva-
tion, a resort spa is not for you. You'll be faced
with too many culinary temptations, and the
staff is not geared to pushing you through your
workouts.

Structured spas: Do it their way
Each structured spa has its particular vision of
the road to health and fitness. You’re expected
to abide by the rules. Beauty treatments might
cost extra.

If the discipline sounds too rigorous, remember that there are compensations.
You'll get that sense of serene well-being that comes when you know someone is
taking care of you. For a week or two, spa personnel schedule your activities
and set your goals, giving you a definite means to accomplish them.

Beauty spas: a fairy godmother’s magic

Beauty is the be-all and the end-all ot the time you spend at one of these
women-only spas. Not that facials and massages are the only activities on the
agenda. There are plenty of exercise classes, and healthful food is served, in diet
portions if you want. But the programs are geared toward slower body toning.
Probably not the place to go if your goal is major weight loss, but great for
delicious pampering.

Some favorite spas

A roundup of places with varying prices, locations and approaches. Prices change too
rapidly to give exact quotes. Ranges are given: moderate—$1,000 to $1,700 per week;
expensive—more than $1,700.

Canyon Ranch (structured spa, expensive) 8600 East Rockcliff Road, Tucson, AZ 85715;
800-742-9000. One of the most outstanding fitness programs in the country, with all the
pampering spa treatments you could want. You'll be
inspired by the majestic setting (each day begins with
desert or mountain hikes).

The Cliff Spa at Snowbird (resort spa, moderate)
Snowbird, UT 84092; 800-453-3000. The only spa-in
the continental United States in an alpine setting. The
program is pretty unstructured, because it is assumed
you will want to take advantage of skiing or mountain
hikes. Either way, you'll love the spectacular views

La Costa (resort spa, expensive) Costa Del Mar Road,
Carlsbad, CA 92009; 800-854-5000. Anything goes at

Joy Luck Club

June felt so far removed from her family’s
roots in China. Now a long-buried secret from her
mothers past was about to change her life

y father has asked me to be the fourth

corner at the Joy Luck Club. I am to re-
place my mother, whose seat at the mah jong
table has been empty since she died two months
ago. My father thinks she was killed by her own
thoughts.

“She had a new idea inside her head,” he said.
“But before it could come out of her mouth, it
grew too big and burst. It must have
been a very bad idea.”

Her friends at the Joy Luck Club
said she died just like a rabbit:
quickly and with unfinished business
left behind. My mother was supposed
to host the next meeting of the Joy
Luck Club.

My mother started the San
Francisco version of the Joy
Luck Club in 1949, two years
before I was born. This was
the year my mother and fa-
ther left China with one stiff leather trunk
filled only with fancy silk dresses. There was no
time to pack anything else, my mother had
explained to my father after they boarded the
boat. Still his hands swam frantically between
the slippery silks, looking for his cotton shirts
and wool pants.

‘ When they arrived in San Francisco,
my father made her (continued)

hide those shiny clothes. She wore the
same brown-checked dress until the
Refugee Welcome Society gave her two
hand-me-down dresses, both too large,
insizes for American women.The society
was composed of a group of white-
haired American missionary ladies
from the First Chinese Baptist
Church, and through the church they
met the Hsus, the Jongs and the St.
Clairs. My mother could sense that the
women of these families had also left
unspeakable tragedies behind in Chi-
na and hopes they couldn’t begin to
express in their fragile English. Or at
least my mother recognized the numb-
ness in these women’s faces. And she
saw how quickly their eyes moved
when she told them her idea for the
Joy Luck Club.

remembered from the days of her

first marriage in Kweilin, before
the Japanese came. That’s why I think
of Joy Luck as her Kweilin story. It
was the story she would always tell me
when she was bored, when there was
nothing to do, when every bowl had
been washed and the Formica table
wiped down twice. Over the years, she
told me the same story, which grew
darker, casting long shadows into her
life, and eventually into mine.

“I dreamed about Kweilin before I
ever saw it,” my mother began, speak-
ing Chinese. “The man who was my
husband brought me and our two ba-
bies to Kweilin because he thought we
would be safe. He was an officer with
the Kuomintang, and after he put us
down in a small room in a two-story
house, he went off to Chungking.

“We knew the Japanese were win-
ning, even when the newspapers said
they were not. Every day, every hour,
thousands of people poured into the
city, crowding the sidewalks, looking
for places to live. Rich and poor,
Shanghainese, Cantonese, northern-
ers, and not just Chinese, but foreign-
ers and missionaries of every religion
—a city of leftovers mixed together.

“Every day I sat in the dark corners
of my house with a baby under each
arm, waiting with nervous feet. When
the sirens cried out to warn us of
bombers, my neighbors and I ran into
the street. Imagine how it is, to want
to be neither inside nor outside, to
want to be nowhere and disappear.

“T thought up Joy Luck on a summer
night that was so hot even the moths
fainted to the ground. My idea was to
have a gathering of four women, one
for each corner of the mah jong table. I
knew which women I wanted to ask.

100

J: Luck was an idea my mother

They were all young like me, with
wishful faces.

“Each week one of us would host a
party to raise money and to raise our
spirits: The hostess had to serve spe-
cial food to bring good fortune. We
didn’t notice that the dumplings were
stuffed mostly with stringy squash and
that the oranges were spotted with
wormy holes. We ate sparingly, not as
if we didn’t have enough, but to protest
how we could not eat another bite, we
had already bloated ourselves from
earlier in the day. We knew we had
luxuries few people could afford.

“After filling our stomachs, we
would fill a bowl with money and put
it where everyone could see. Then we
would sit at the mah jong table. My
table was from my family and was of a
fragrant red wood, not what you call
rosewood, but hong mu, which is so
fine there’s no English word for it.

“Once we started to play, nobody
could speak, except to say ‘Pung!” or
‘Chr!’ when taking a tile. We had to
play with seriousness and think of
nothing but adding to our happiness
through winning. After sixteen
rounds, we feasted again, this time to
celebrate our good fortune. And then
we talked until the morning, saying
stories about good times in the past
and good times yet to come.

“People thought we were wrong to
serve banquets while others were
starving, eating rats, and later, the
garbage that the poorest rats fed on.
How could we laugh, they asked.

“Tt’s not that we had no heart or eyes
for pain. We were all afraid. We had

our miseries. But to despair was to.

wish back for something already lost.
Or to prolong what was already un-
bearable. How much can you wish for
a favorite coat in the closet of a house
that burned down with your mother
and father inside it? What was worse,
we asked ourselves, to sit and wait for
our own deaths with proper somber
faces? Or to choose our own happiness?

“So we held parties and pretended
each week was the new year. Each
week, we could hope to be lucky. That
was our only joy—and how we came to
call our parties Joy Luck.”

story was anything but a Chinese

fairy tale.

But one evening, when I was sulking
because she had refused to buy me a
transistor radio, she said, “Why do you
think you are missing something you
never had?” And then she told me the
rest of the story.

“An army officer came to my house
early one morning and told me to go
quickly to my husband in Chungking.
I knew he was telling me (continued)

to run away. I knew what happened to officers and their
families when the Japanese arrived. How could I go?
There were no trains leaving Kweilin.

“I packed my things and my babies into a wheelbarrow
and began pushing to Chungking four days before the
Japanese marched into Kweilin. On the road I heard
news of the slaughter from people running past me. It
was terrible. The streets were strewn with newspapers
reporting great Kuomintang victories, and on top of these
papers, like fresh fish from a butcher, lay rows of peo-
ple—men, women and children who had never lost hope
but had lost their lives instead. I pushed toward Chung-
king, until my wheel broke. I abandoned my beautiful
table of hong mu. By then I didn’t have enough feeling
left in my body to cry. I tied scarves into slings and put a
baby on each shoulder. I carried a bag in each hand, one
with clothes, the other with food. When my hands began
to bleed and became too slippery to hold anything, I
finally dropped one bag and then the second.

“Others had done the same, gradually given up hope. It
was like a pathway inlaid with treasures that grew in
value along the way. When I arrived in Chungking, I had
lost everything except for three fancy silk dresses, which
I wore one on top of the other.”

} InAnr

“That’s the trouble,” my mother said. “You never rise.
Lazy to get up. Lazy to rise to expectations.”

“Time to eat,” Auntie An-mei happily announces,
bringing out a steaming pot of wonton. Piles of food are
served buffet style, like the Kweilin feasts.

Eating is not a gracious event here. It’s as though
everybody had been starving. They are not like the ladies
of Kweilin, who I always imagined savored their food
with a certain detached delicacy.

And then, almost as quickly as they started, the men
get up and leave the table. As if on cue, the women peck
at the last morsels and carry the dishes to the kitchen.
We move toward the back of the apartment, passing the
room that the four Hsu sons used to share. The uncles are
already at the card table. Uncle George is dealing.

Then we get to the room once shared by the three Hsu
girls, my childhood friends. Now they’ve all grown and
married, and I’m here to play in their room again.

Nobody says, “Sit here, this is where your mother used
to sit.” But I can tell even before everyone sits down. The
chair closest to the door has an emptiness to it. The
feeling doesn’t really have to do with the chair. It’s her
place. No one has to tell me, I know her corner on the
table was the East.

The East is where things begin, my mother once told
me, where the sun rises, where the wind comes from.

Auntie An-mei spills the tiles onto the green felt table-
top and then says to me, “Now we wash tiles.” We swirl
them with our hands in a circular motion. They make a
cool swishing sound as they bump into one another.

We begin to play, casting and picking up tiles at an
easy, comfortable pace. The Joy Luck aunties begin to
make small talk, not really listening to each other. They
speak in their special language, half (continued)

cousin’s husband and that husband’s
uncle, even village friends who were
not lucky enough to have overseas rel-
atives to show off.

My mother confirmed her suspi-
cions. Nobody wanted those useless
clothes. The M & M’s were thrown in
the air, gone. And when the suitcases
were emptied, the relatives asked
what else the Hsus had brought.

Auntie An-mei and Uncle George
were shaken down, not just for two
thousand dollars’ worth of TVs and re-
frigerators but also for a night’s lodg-
ing for twenty-six people in the Over-
looking the Lake Hotel, for three ban-
quet tables at a restaurant, for three
special gifts for each relative and, fi-
nally, for a “loan” of five thousand
yuan to a cousin’s so-called uncle who
wanted a motorcycle. When the train
pulled out of Hangzhou, the Hsus
found themselves depleted of some
nine thousand dollars’ worth of good-
will. Months later, after Christmas
service, Auntie An-mei tried to recoup
her loss by saying it truly was more
blessed to give than to receive, and my
mother agreed, that her longtime
friend had blessings for at least sever-
al lifetimes.

Listening now to Auntie Lin brag-
ging about the virtues of her family in
China, I realize that Auntie Lin is

oblivious to Auntie An-mei’s pain.

“So, Jing-mei, you go to school now?”
she asks me, changing the subject.

“Her name is June. They all go by
American names,” says Auntie Ying.

“That’s okay,” I say, and I really
mean it. In fact, it’s even becoming
fashionable for American-born Chi-
nese to use their Chinese names.

“[’m not in school anymore, though,”
I add. “That was over ten years ago.”

Auntie Lin’s eyebrows arch. “Maybe
I’m thinking of someone else daugh-
ter,” she says, but I know she’s lying.
My mother probably told her I was
going to finish my degree, because
sometime, maybe six months ago, we
were again arguing about my being a
failure, a “college drop-off,” about my
going back to finish.

Once again I had told my mother
what she wanted to hear: “You’re
right. I'll look into it.”

I had always assumed we had an
unspoken understanding: She didn’t
really mean I was a failure, and I real- —
ly meant I would try to respect her
opinions more. But listening to Auntie
Lin tonight reminds me once again:

were not how they intended to break
some sort of bad news to me.

“I think your mother die with an
important thought on her mind,” Aun-
tie Ying says in halting English. And
then she speaks in Chinese, calmly,
softly. “Your mother was a very strong
woman, a good mother. She loved you
very much, more than her own life.
That’s why you can understand why a
mother like this could never forget her
other daughters. She knew they were
alive, and before she died she wanted
to find them.”

reclaimed. I barely hear Auntie Ying.

“She had searched for years, written
letters,” says Auntie Ying. “Last year
she got an address. She was going to
tell your father soon. Aii-ya, what a
shame. A lifetime of waiting.”

Auntie An-mei interrupts, excitedly:
“So your aunties and I, we wrote to
this address. We say a certain party,
your mother, want to meet another
certain party. And this party write
back. They are your sisters, Jing-mei.”

My sisters, I repeat to myself, saying
these two words together for the first
time.

The aunties are all smiling at me, as
though I had been a dying person who
has now miraculously recovered. Aun-
tie Ying is handing me an envelope.
Inside is a check made out to me for
$1,200. I can’t believe it.

“My sisters are sending me money?”

“No, no,” says Auntie Lin with her
mock exasperated voice. “Every year
we save our mah jong winnings for a
big banquet at fancy restaurant. Most
times your mother win, so most is her
money. We add just a little, so you can
go see your sisters. Besides, we all get-
ting too rich, too fat.” She pats her
stomach for proof.

my aunties have told to mask their
generosity. I am sobbing and laughing

WOMEN VS. FASHION:

Why clothes
cost sOmuch

Tired of paying too much for fashion
thats not so haute? Heres what

you should know about shopping, now
that high prices are tn style

hether you shop at a mall, by

mail or on Madison Avenue,

you know that this year’s prices

are higher than last year’s hem-

lines. The Shetland sweater that

went for $23.50 now sells for $28.50. A
wool skirt costs $74—up from $68—
and a wool blazer that was $250 now
wears a $300 price tag. Indeed, during

1988 the cost of clothes rose even
faster than the Consumer Price Index,
although prices dipped slightly dur-
ing the holiday season due to the large
number of sales. High-fashion designer
items—particularly those imported from
Europe—cost as much as 30
percent more than last year.
And some retail analysts
predict that even more
shocks are in store for
shoppers this spring.

If women were getting
better value for these in-
flated prices, they might
find them easier to take.
But fashion experts and
smart shoppers agree that
the quality and design of
clothes have declined. “A few
years ago you could get an
attractive, decently made dress for
one hundred dollars,” says Tina John-
son, a Los Angeles lawyer and veteran
shopper. “Today you have to pay four
hundred dollars for a dress that proba-
bly has split seams and loose buttons.”

Incensed shoppers are not only pay-
ing more for less but are finding it
tough to locate clothing they even like.
“There is no new fashion direction,”
says Ruth Ann Britten, president of Ar-

thur Britten Associates, a retail consulting
firm in New York. “Fashion today is bor-
ing, boring, boring.”

lies in a complex combination of econom-
ic pressures, plus pervasive industry prac-
tices that border on the unscrupulous.

So why do clothes
cost so much this
year? The answer

Foreign policy

The falling dollar is partly to blame.
Imports cost more as the dollar
loses ground overseas. Take,
for example, a cashmere
sweater from Scotland that
cost American retailers ap-
proximately $100 two years
ago and was priced at $210
in the U.S.—a typical retail
markup. Today, because the
British pound has risen more
’ than 25 percent against the dol-
lar, the same sweater might cost
merchants about $125, and the re-
tail price might be $265. To keep
up, say in-
dustry insid-
ers, some top
American de-
signers are
boosting their
own prices.
Moreover, to protect American tex-
tile and apparel makers, the U.S. has
established quota agreements that limit
the imports of garments, (continued)

What you get for the buck

LHJ went shopping to find the best buy ina
basic item, a simple black skirt.

The $58 skirt

Made in the U.S. of 100 percent merino wool
jersey, by Carole Little for Saint-Tropez

length. Hi Thin wool, no lining. Hl Fabric
may bag. Ml Elastic waist; uneven gath-
ering at waistband looks cheap, but can be

camouflaged with a wide belt. Regular —

seams, one-inch hem.

Recommendation: The skirt for the
woman more interested in style than
quality; it may last only one season.

The $95 skirt

A 100 percent pure wool skirt made in
Australia, by Country Road of Australia; at
Country Road/Australia. Mj Classic tailored

tucks for sleekness across tummy and

WB Norrow waistband. I Four-inch fan

pleat at hem in back for easy movement.
One-inch hem. HM Well-sewn seams.
Recommendation: The best buy for the
woman who wants a classic look that can be
worn for years.

The $290 skirt

gabardine by Joseph pour la ville; at
Macy’s. Mi Designer styling and detailing.
Wi Fully lined in silk. HM Well-sewn seams.

Recommendation: The skirt for the woman
who wants the highest quality plus a design-
er look—and is willing to pay for it.

(continued) fabric, yarn and fiber from
such combative competitors as Hong
Kong, South Korea and Taiwan. Not only
that, the average tariff (or tax) on foreign
apparel is 18 percent, and it’s the U.S.
consumer who ends up paying more for
these imports. In fact, calculates former
U.S. trade representative Clayton Yeut-
ter, these protective measures add $238
a year to the clothing bill of the typical
American family of four.

Decreased supplies and increased de-
mand for certain natural fibers, such as
wool, have also ballooned price tags.
Countries such as the Soviet Union and
China have started making more clothing
for their own consumers of late and be-
gan clamoring for wool just as a drought
in Australia’s sheep country shortened
supply. China, once a good source for

cheap silk exports, has begun to nibble

away at its own stockpiles.

The bottom line

World economics aside, how-
ever, much of today’s price problem
was made in the U.S.A. Merger-mania
among retailers has centralized control
over how and where we shop nation-
wide—and how much we pay. Empires
such as Macy‘s, May Company and Cam-
peau, a Canadian-based conglomerate,
have managed to take over nearly all of
the country’s department stores in recent
years, as well as many of the specialty
chains. According to Susan Dresner, a
New York wardrobe consultant and au-
thor of Shopping on the Inside Track
(Gibbs Smith, 1988), these mega-stores,
driven by the need to sell large quantities
of goods, are intent on expansion. At the
same time, they sometimes cut costs by
replacing their seasoned buyers with in-
experiénced employees. “As a result,”
says Dresner, “we have too many stores
saturated with mass-produced, indistin-
guishable merchandise.”

Shopping malls magnify this phenome-
non. Although they do encourage compe-
tition among retailers since customers
can easily compare prices, experts say
there is still no real choice of what to
buy. Store after store is stocked with the
same sweaters, dresses and blouses; op-
tions and variety have all but vanished.

Consumers have begun to fight
back by not buying; for (continued)

(continued) almost two years now, retail
sales of women’s clothes have been flat.
Still, retailers have developed a last-ditch
defense. When forced to remainder mer-
chandise at sale prices in order to clear
out their stores, many retailers try to
recoup some of their losses from manu-
facturers. This is known as “markdown
money,” and the consumer ultimately
pays the inflated price.

Yet because sales are soft, quite a
few manufacturers have become
more sensitive to pricing. Liz Clai-
borne, which has the largest single
market share of any one label, held
the line at increases of only 2 to 4
percent last year. Other designers,
such as Adrienne Vittadini, Bill Blass
and Geoffrey Beene, have also
managed to keep prices down.

Specialty retailers are also paying
more attention to their customers’
needs. For instance, stores such as
the Limited took their cues from
last year’s sagging sportswear sales
and introduced career-oriented fashions.

Shopping strategies

The long and short of it, then, is that
customers who are spending their riches
on rags have to be more conscious than
ever of value and quality. Here, then,
strategies to help you get the most for
your fashion money.

Ml Don’t be fooled by sales. Smart shop-
pers know that sales are ever-present
these days. “Department-store pricing is
programmed to make customers think
they‘re getting a deal,” says consultant
Britten. “They‘re not.” Since many stores
mark clothes way up before marking
them down, you might consider waiting
until an item has been reduced a second
time to ensure actual savings.

Hi Shop by mail. Catalog shopping offers
convenience, good quality and reasonable
prices on classic clothing. Clark Hinkley,

general merchandise manager and execu-
tive vice-president of Talbots’, a Massa-
chusetts company that sells its merchan-
dise primarily through catalogs, says that
he and his staff have kept cost increases
at bay by tracking down less expensive
foreign sources for quality fabrics and
getting volume discounts.

WB Be a private eye about private labels.
Most department stores now sell private-
label clothing—goods provided by the re-
tailer’s suppliers under the store’s own
name—which are touted by stores as
costing 25 percent less than designer
clothing of comparable quality.

That’s not always true. But private
label merchandise is worth considering
when it comes to basics that you can
readily price elsewhere. The Limited, for
example, has been very successful at
reproducing designer-label looks on pri-

vate-label apparel. “They have the right
colors in the right season and for the
right price,” Britten says.

Mi Scout out smaller stores. \f you want
clothing that’s different from the usual
department-store fare, look in boutiques,
which will often offer unique designs
from lesser-known designers. You’re also
likely to get better service and find higher
quality items. (However, retail prices
may be higher, depending on the store.)
MM Be a creative shopper. Look for cloth-
ing, jewelry and accessories at craft
shows, flea markets and thrift shops,
where you can often find real bargains.
Wi Buy versatile pieces. Stick to black,
navy, beige or brown when you buy
major items such as a suit, skirt or jack-
et. Make your outfits fashionable for less
by accessorizing with au courant colors
and belts, jewelry and scarves.

Wi Buy season-spanning materials. Natu-
ral fabrics such as wool gabardine, wool

crepe, linen, cotton and silk tend to
breathe and can be worn year-round.
However, the quality of natural fabrics
varies radically. An almost-transparent
silk blouse, for example, may be far
inferior to a high-grade polyester.

Mi Know what items to spend your
money on. For example, be willing to
pay more for good-quality basics, such as
a classic jacket that will help pull togeth-
er the other pieces in your wardrobe, or
a well-made black wool gabardine suit.
Wi Splurge on a few all-important acces-
sories. Expensive pieces such as a status
scarf, a good-quality leather handbag or
a strand of cultured pearls can embellish
the most spartan wardrobe.

MM Become shoe savvy. Shoes don’t have
to be expensive as long as theyre com-
fortable and fit well, says wardrobe con-
sultant Dresner. She advises buying
shoes made of natural
materials such as leather,
because synthetics don’t
let feet breathe. Also,
look for clean edges,
neat stitching, flexibility
and leather soles for
longer wear.

MM Look for inexpensive
fiber substitutes. \f you
can’t afford all-natural fi-
bers, settle for blends
rather then all synthetics,
because they last longer
and wear better. And don’t be put off by
fabrics that aren’t familiar to you. For
example, ramie, a version of rayon, is a
smart buy when blended with natural
fabrics, because you still get the quality
of the natural fabric, but you pay less
because the item is not all natural.

MB Make sure the clothing you buy is
well crafted. Dresner’s checklist for de-
termining quality: 1. If the material has a
pattern or stripe, does it match at the
seam line and pockets? 2. Is there any
puckering at the seams? 3. Is the seam
allowance wide enough for letting out,
and is it sewn securely? 4. Is the stitch-
ing close together and even? 5. Are the
buttonholes sewn on both sides of the
cloth? 6. Is the skirt lined with a quality
fabric, such as silk or rayon? 7. Are the
pockets built in, rather than attached from
the outside? 8. Are the buttons on
your garment natural (bone, pearl or
leather), not plastic?

Amy sighs good-naturedly. “It used to
make me crazy until I set up a system.
When I hired five people to run every-
thing, I said to them straight out—just
feed us. If there’s a problem—handle
it. I don’t want to hear about the mice.

“You know,” she adds, matter-of-
factly, “I used to think I could do it all
before Max was born. Now every-
thing’s changed.”

Flying high

If she’s not doing it all, she’s still doing
a lot. At age thirty-five, she’s a doting
mother as well as a respected stage per-
former who’s now, finally, a name-
above-the-title movie star. For a long
time, she toiled in the shadow of her
celebrated husband. As a director or
producer, the forty-one-year-old Spiel-
berg has given the world Jaws, E.T.,
Close Encounters of the Third Kind and
Who Framed Roger Rabbit, among oth-
ers. (Without credit, Amy provided the
sexy singing voice for that torchy Toon,
Jessica Rabbit.) While he is still Oscar-
less, Spielberg’s genius has earned him
a reported $250 million, and movie folk,
in a mix of envy and pride, have dubbed
him the King of Hollywood.

But Amy cannot be dismissed as
merely the king’s consort. Indeed, al-
though their marriage seemed to be
skidding through one of its periodic
slippery patches last year, her career
has been sailing along. Her work in an
Off-Broadway play, Athol Fugard’s
The Road to Mecca, won a coveted
Obie award, and her performance in

| Crossing Delancey helped make it one

of the year’s hit movies. Now the strik-
ing actress with the diamond-shaped
face and riveting blue eyes is in de-
mand on both coasts.

“Tm very spoiled after last year,” she
admits, “because that success had noth-
ing to do with wholm married to.
Mecca, in particular, was my dream re-
alized. Steven always says E.T. was his
‘something-from-the-heart, a movie
probably never to be matched. When he
saw me in the play, he said, ‘Mecca is
your E..T.’ So I came back to Hollywood
without the chip on my shoulder that
said, ‘Why don’t you people use me?’
Now they see that I’m no longer the
little girlfriend that Steven brought
along. I’ve earned my wings.”

Yet, just now when she’s hot, Amy
has chosen to pause in her career and
rearrange her priorities. Amid ru-
mors—vigorously denied—that her
marriage is unraveling, she has decided
that her domestic interests come first.

“Tm not going to shortchange family
for career,” she insists. “I used to think

getting taxied back and forth all the time.”
Of Russian-Jewish ancestry on her father’s side and
Welsh-Cherokee on her mother’s, Amy describes herself
s “a tough little cookie” growing up. “I was very self-
assured and always knew that I wanted to be Sarah
Bernhardt. I did children’s roles in my parents’ plays.”

Teenage Amy studied music and theater in New York
and San Francisco before beginning three years of classi-
cal training as the only American student at the London
Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Then she went
through an overweight hippie period, even ironing her
gorgeous natural curls. “Any self-esteem problems I have
now stem from that awkward time,” she says. “I was a
flower child—still am, actually.”

She returned to Los Angeles, and one day in June of
1976 she auditioned for the Princess Leia role in George
Lucas’s Star Wars. Carrie Fisher got the part, but Amy
caught the eye of Lucas’s pal, director Brian De Palma,
who was then casting his horror classic Carrie, starring
Sissy Spacek. DePalma could imagine Amy playing Car-
rie’s best friend, and he also saw her as the perfect date
for his buddy, Steven Spielberg.

The saga of Steve and Amy can be told in the style of
either tabloid or storybook—it’s a little of both. De Palma
introduced them, and they clicked. Amy shared Spiel-
berg’s Beverly Hills house until, after four years and a
rumored romance with Willie Nelson, her co-star in Hon-
eysuckle Rose, they broke up. But in a last-stand try, Amy
proposed marriage, Steve accepted, and they headed off to
wed in Tokyo. They quarreled again and canceled the
ceremony—then stayed on as sightseers. When they part-

She takes a breath. “Oh, sure, I miss the papers, but we
agreed that what you don’t know—I mean, it’s not as if
we're totally innocent of knowing what’s happening out
there. We know. But we also know what’s important, and
we screen out negativity.”

Spielberg has always been very supportive of her work,
adds Amy, and she of his as well. “At night he’ll often
read scripts out loud to me, and if I don’t fall asleep, he

Amy sums up their plans. Steven is preparing to film
Always, a romantic comedy in which Richard Dreyfuss
plays an Army flier who dies in combat, then comes back
as a ghost to meddle in his ex-girlfriend’s new romance.

As for Amy, she may portray the wife of Polish activist
Lech Walesa in a movie to be made in Hollywood this
spring. Meanwhile, she plans to co-produce and star next
winter in a movie drama named Passion of the Mind.

Does Amy think that she lives a golden life? She
smiles, then says softly, “Yes, compared with the rest of
the world, I guess our life is golden, although the sun
doesn’t shine on me every day.”

And besides, she adds, her good fortune comes as no
surprise: “Ever since I was a child, I’ve been very confi-
dent I would get what I wanted.”

iding a voice that spans three octaves, Whitney

Houston has soared into the pop stratosphere at

the tender age of twenty-five. She has won more

major awards in less time than any other pop star

except Barbra Streisand: one Emmy, two Gram-
mys and nine American Music Awards since 1985. Her
two albums, Whitney Houston and Whitney, have sold
more than 28 million copies worldwide and launched
seven consecutive number-one hits—more than even
the Beatles ever managed. And now, following a suc-
cessful world tour, she’s trying to top herself with a
third album, due out in the fall.

Yet Whitney’s phenomenal success isn’t such a
phenomenon, when you know her musical pedigree.
Her mother, Cissy Houston, has been a celebrated
gospel performer for years and at one time was a
backup singer for another vocalist of some

repute: Elvis Pres-

Then Clive Davis, president of Arista Records and

her perform in a nightclub act with her mother.
Overwhelmed by her beauty, talent and commercial
promise, he made her his personal marketing project.

Davis introduced her to American audiences
through carefully chosen TV appearances on shows

like Merv Griffin, secured a number of key showcase

performances in New York and Los Angeles, and

(continued) the songs that helped her debut album
go platinum in 1985, and followed the same formu-
la two years later on her second blockbuster LP.

Whitney’s ascension has not been without
bumps, however. Despite her proven vocal abili-

ties, some critics accuse her of being primarily a
product of hype. Her second album, Whitney,

was dismissed as sappy and safe by some re-
viewers, and several of her recent sold-out concerts
have garnered mixed reviews. A shoving incident
between one of her stagehands and comedian
Whoopi Goldberg at a recent benefit concert for
imprisoned South African activist Nelson Mandela
brought Whitney a flood of bad press.

Replies Whitney: “‘I’ve been called standoffish.
I’ve been called a bitch. And I often ask myself
whether I really have acted that way. Then I look
back and I think . . . no. No, I didn’t.”’

She also denies—categorically but resignedly—
rumors of a romantic involvement with her longtime
personal assistant, Robyn Crawford.

‘“My mother taught me that when you stand in the
truth and someone tells a lie about you, don’t fight
it,” Whitney says. ‘‘Let people talk. I don’t care. It
doesn’t bother me, because I’m not gay.”’

Still, nothing can tarnish what Whitney has al-
ready accomplished, or dim her hopes for the future.
Her ambitions include writing more of her own mate-
rial—and making movies. She has reportedly been
offered a role in the film version of the Broadway hit
Dream Girls, and the part of legendary Folies Ber-
geére star Josephine Baker in her film biography.

‘I don’t want to be a movie star,’’ she says, ‘‘but
I would like to be an actress.”’

At this point in Whitney’s life, it seems her career
remains her greatest love of all. But there will come a
time when she’ll make room for something else.
“‘One day ! want to get married and have kids,’’ she
says. ““That’s the ultimate career for me.”’

Tiffany: Iroubles for
a teenage star

alk about your mallflowers: At an age when
many teenagers are spending fortunes at shop-
ping centers around the country, Tiffany Dar-
wish was tending to hers instead.

In a revolutionary marketing move two years
ago, the singer, then fifteen, boosted her first album
into a four-million-copy hit with her tireless appear-
ances at malls. She’d warble along with taped tunes
from Tiffany for anyone who would listen.

‘‘It was embarrassing at first,’’ recalls the singer,
who now, like her album covers, uses only her first
name. ‘‘People were laughing and giving me weird
reactions.’’ But not for long. Small crowds turned
into huge ones, and album sales followed suit. ‘‘I
met a lot of people,’’ she says. “‘And I felt that they
could walk away and say, ‘That’s Tiff, my friend,’
rather than ‘Yeah, Tiffany the star.’ ”’

Tiffany became the youngest female to score a
number-one album and the youngest person to send
her first two singles (“‘I Think We’re Alone Now”’
and ‘‘Could’ve Been’’) to the top of the charts. Now
she’s hoping for a second smash with her new al-
bum, Hold an Old Friend’s Hand, (continued)

(continued) which again features the light, dance-

— = In spite of her enormous professional success,
Tiffany has suffered personal turmoil.

Last year, Tiffany took her divorced mother,
Janie Williams, to court in California to have
herself declared an emancipated minor and win
the right to conduct her own business affairs.
She also moved out of the apartment she shared with
Janie and two half-sisters near Los Angeles. Tiffany
claimed her mother was “‘not making smart career
moves’’ for her because of an alleged drinking prob-
lem. Williams countered that Tiffany was being
overworked and underpaid by her manager and pro-
ducer, George Tobin. Tiffany stood by her manager.

After a two-month court battle, however, the sing-
er dropped the emancipation request, and Williams
recently resumed legal guardianship of her daughter.
The settlement also required that mother and daugh-
ter meet regularly with a family counselor, and that
Tiffany’s earnings be placed in trust accounts she can
draw from in installments when she is eighteen,
twenty-one and twenty-five (though she receives a
four-figure monthly allowance in the meantime). As
a result of the dispute, insiders say Tiffany’s relation-
ship with her mother remains frosty.

Only one thing has never been disputed: the preco-
cious teenager’s talent. She started singing profes-
sionally with local bands at age nine, catching To-
bin’s attention when she was twelve and singing
backup in a recording session at one of his studios.

‘‘T was enthralled by her voice,’’ he remembers.
“‘In under ten minutes I decided to sign her.”’

Today, Tiffany has graduated from shopping cen-
ters to real-life concert halls packed with adolescents.
But even so, she considers it important for her fans to
know that she is still one of them. ‘‘No one waits on
me hand and foot,”’ “*Some people look at
me like I shouldn’t
be normal.”’

Her life has
been anything but
normal, but Tiffa-

persevere. What-

Debbie has

her rise to pop
stardom

Good times for that

Consider the resumé:

Debbie Gibson wrote

bet first song when she

in kindergarten.

By the time she was sixteen, che id one hundred of

her own songs on tape and landed her first contract

with Atlantic Records. And now that she’s all of

eighteen, she’s seen her debut album, Ouf of .the

Blue, rack up five top-ten singles, and she has just
released a new album, Electric Youth.

But it is Debbie’s normal image as the teen next door
that makes her and her music so widely appealing.
Debbie still lives at home. She recently graduated near
the top of her senior class at Calhoun High in her
hometown of Merrick, Long Island, and is now a freshman
and Spanish major at nearby Hofstra University.

“| don’t think everybody has to be Madonna,” she
explains. “The market was missing someone from
suburbia who wears jeans and a sweatshirt.”

She moved into the spotlight in 1983, when Doug
Breitbart, a New York entertainment lawyer, saw her
potential and enrolled
her in acting, dancing
and voice lessons. Deb-
bie even learned how
to produce records in a
studio Breitbart per-
suaded her parents to
build in the garage.
The results have inclu-
ded millions of records
sold, an army of ado-
lescent fans and ap- j
proving parents, and
critical recognition of her
talent. —MIKE HAMMER

cycling to super shape

When Norma Sabesin, 28, an account coordinator for an advertising
agency, moved to Chicago from St. Louis she discovered that cycling is
the most popular sport in the Windy City—so she took it up! Cycling can
be done almost anywhere, is great for heart conditioning and leg
toning, and is also a super stress reducer, especially after work. Too cold
to cycle outdoors? Invest in a stationary bicycle.

Beauty means fitness for some of our women.
Looking good is also a great excuse to let off
steam. “Some women shop to relax; I go to the
salon,’”’ says Edwena Raye. But beauty isn’t
something we do only for ourselves—we like to
look good for loved ones, too. Santa Fe artist

t's every mother’s worst fear: You turn your back for
a minute and your child disappears. On June 10,
1986, terror became reality for Pamela Funk. Pam
and her three children—Derek, four, Michelle, two-
and-a-half, and baby Nicole—were enjoying a
leisurely late-afternoon picnic on their front lawn in
Sandy, Utah. Impish and full of energy, little Mi-
chelle promptly plopped herself down in the barbecue
sauce—wearing a brand-new pair of clean pink pants.

“| ran into the house to rinse out her pants and fix a
boitle for the baby,” recalls Pam. “By the time | got back
outside, Michelle was gone.”

She had good cause to be concerned. Just across the
street from their home raged a white-water creek,
swollen with the runoff from a record snowfall on the
Wasaich Mountains, eleven (continued on page 188)

was appalled by the crowds that gathered outside her Georgetown

. r home, seeking a glimpse of Caroline and John-John. She knew that
she has raised a son and daugh her two fatherless children had captured the heart of a nation, and |

tion at the feet of my children, and | fear for them, for this awful |
ent proud. How did she do it? exposure,” Jackie lamented to a friend, interior decorator Billy Bald- |
win. “How can | bring them up normally?”
Clearly, she found a way. At thirty-one, Caroline is a Columbia Law
School graduate, the wife of artist/designer Edwin Schlossberg, and the
mother of a baby girl. She can often be seen (but in her casual dresses |

and sneakers, she’s
not likely to be no-
ticed) pushing her baby carriage in New York’s Central Park. Across
town, on the West Side, John, twenty-eight, bicycles or takes the subway
to New York University Law School, where he’s completing his final year.

Of course, they are not angels: Caroline has been known to pull rank
to get to the head of lines, while John is not above sending a stripper to
“interview” with a friend who was looking for a secretary. But that seems
to be about as bad as it gets. The two most celebrated Kennedy kids
have, with the help of their mother, managed to avoid the drinking and
drug problems that have plagued some of their cousins. The (continued)

public eye (clockwise from
opposite page): Jackie with her
grown-up kids; a happy White
House childhood; John-John’s
heartbreaking farewell to his
father; Jackie finds time for
sleighing, ice cream, bicycling and
school escort duty. Even after
Jackie’s marriage to shipping
magnate Aristotle Onassis, her
children remained her top priority

(continued) question is how.

For a woman of few words (she
gives no interviews and surrounds her-
self with equally closemouthed
friends), Jackie has revealed a great
deal about her philosophy of mother-
ing. From her comments and actions
over the years, four principles emerge:
1. Mothering is a do-it-yourself job. Al-
though she was able to hire help—and
did—Jackie never abandoned her chil-
dren to nannies. “It isn’t fair to children
in the limelight to leave them to the care
of others and then to expect that they
will turn out all right,” she has said.

2. Love means getting tough when you
have to. She has never been afraid to
put her foot down with her kids. And
she knows that while discipline is to be
expected, it must be mixed with an
equal dose of affection.

3. A home is more than a house. “| want to
give them some kind of sanctuary,” Jack-
ie has said, “some place to take them into
when things happen to them.”

4. Children should be heard as well as
seen. “The thing children need most is
attention,” she has said. Jackie gave
Caroline and John not only attention
but also the freedom to express their
feelings.

A full-time mother

When she committe
ing, Jackie was all
deficiencies in her own upbringing and
in her husband's. She was the product of
a broken home, overindulged one min-
ute and neglected the next. Jack grew
up in a go-for-broke family where “Ken-

144

herself to mother-
© aware of the

Jackie (with
Caroline and
with John and
Teddy Kennedy,
Jr.) skillfully
steered

her children
through
adolescence

nedys don‘t cry,” where winning was
everything. Of course, Jackie also rec-
ognized that their upbringing had be-
stowed on them certain assets: educa-
tion, taste, courage and wit. And in her
own parenting, she was determined to
take the best from those backgrounds
and leave (or make up for) the rest.

Having suffered a miscarriage ear-
ly in her marriage and given birth to
a stillborn baby girl in 1956, Jackie
was all the more ecstatic at the birth
of Caroline Bouvier Kennedy on No-
vember 27, 1957. “That child made
all the difference in the world to her,”
said a Georgetown friend. And so did
John F. Kennedy, Jr., delivered on No-
vember 25, 1960, the first baby ever
born to a President-elect of the United
States and his wife.

Experts say that when a woman has
had a great deal of difficulty bearing
children, as Jackie did, the trauma
can affect subsequent parenting in a
number of ways. “She may overpro-
tect them or spoil them, or even reject
them, because of a heightened vul-
nerability to loss,” says Marilyn Ru-
man, Ph.D., a psychologist in Encino,
California. “Or she may appreciate
her children all the more and make
them a priority.”

That seems to be what happened
with Jackie: So much did she value
her little ones that she vowed to play
a major role in their lives despite the

fact that it was customary for women
of her class to leave their child raising
to governesses. “If you bungle raising
your children,” she said when she
was First Lady, “| don’t think whatever
else you do well matters very much.”
She insisted, “Children need their
mother’s affection and guidance and
long periods of time alone with her.”

Not that Caroline and John didn’t
have a nanny; they did, a warm, old-
er British woman named Maud Shaw.
Yet Jackie always seemed to distin-
guish between caretaking and caring.
It was fine to leave the dressing and
driving to someone else. But when it
came to real problem-solving, she
wanted to be involved.

Jackie’s own biggest problem dur-
ing the White House years—and af-
terward—was maintaining privacy
for her children. She came up with
some creative solutions. To ensure
Caroline’s privacy, she established a
school in the White House, with the
help of Susan Wilson, a former Vassar
College classmate. “| think the school
was indicative of Jackie’s desire to
create an environment where her chil-
dren could have access to other kids,”
says Wilson. Comprised of twenty-one
students, the school occupied two
rooms above the Oval Office; its stu-
dents were the offspring of the Presi-
dent's New Frontiersmen or personal
friends of the Kennedys.

Most mornings when she was in
town, the First Lady could be found
there, watching the youngsters learn
French or ballet positions. “Jackie had
a knack with kids, all kids,” says one
friend. Susan Wilson recalls: “She
asked questions in a way that always
elicited a response and explained
things so they’d really understand.

“Her public persona is cool, cere-
bral. But you saw another side of her
with children, especially her children.
When she was with them, she showed
an intense, loving concern. (continued)

(continued) When you can make a child
feel so precious to you, | think that’s what
gives confidence and self-esteem.”

That doesn’t mean Jackie wasn‘t a
disciplinarian as well. “But she never
criticized in a way that could really
hurt,” says Wilson. That may have
been in reaction to her own upbring-
ing. After Jackie’s parents divorced,
they competed fiercely for their daugh-
ters’ affection. For years it was no con-
test: The dashing “Black Jack” Bouvier
had Jackie and her sister Lee on week-
ends and spoiled them royally. Perhaps
resentful that Jackie preferred her fa-
ther, her mother, Janet, became highly
critical of her. It may well be that Jack-
ie made a conscious effort not to repeat
that destructive behavior.

Jackie may also have valued disci-
pline because of the atmosphere cre-
ated by her father’s drinking. “Gener-
ally speaking, in families where there
is a problem drinker, discipline is not
consistent, but dependent on the
mood of that person,” says Maureen
Dudley, supervisor of counselors at St.
Mary’‘s Rehabilitation Center, in Min-
neapolis. “And when you have incon-
sistent discipline, you have insecure
children.” Having experienced insecu-

rity herself, Jackie may have been all
the more motivated to set firm bound-
aries for her own children

On the other hand, there is evi-
dence that she tried to avoid the trap
her mother fell into of becoming the
sole disciplinarian. So she was play-
ful, too, with her children, hitching
Caroline’s pony, Macaroni, to a sleigh
and giving the children rides around
the White House grounds.

Nor was Jackie the only one to join

146

a mother’ journey

in child’s play. “The Presi-
dent always had the chil-
dren come down to the Oval
Office before they left for the
day,” recalls broadcaster
Sherrye Henry, whose
daughter Elizabeth went to
the White House school with Caroline.
“He'd keep candy in his pockets, and
if it was a pretty day he’d lead them
outside like the Pied Piper. Then he’d
roll on the ground, and the children
would tumble on top of him, digging
in his pockets for the candy!”

That golden age came to an end on
November 22, 1963, when Kennedy
was killed. Jackie, who had lost a
newborn son, Patrick, just three
months earlier, had now lost her hus-
band. But even in the midst of her
overwhelming grief, her first thought
was of her children: She made sure
they were told about their father’s
death before they heard it from friends.
“Your father has gone to look after Pat-
rick,” their nanny told Caroline.

And she made sure the children felt
they had a chance to say good-bye.
Before the funeral, the widow wrote a
parting letter to her husband and told
her daughter, “You must write a letter
to Daddy now, and tell him how much
you love him.” Caroline printed,
“Dear Daddy: We are all going to miss
you. Daddy | love you very much. Car-
oline.” Not old enough to write, John
signed his sister's letter with an X. The
letters were placed in Kennedy’s coffin.

Healing the wounds

If Jackie helped the nation begin to
heal on the day of Kennedy’s funeral,
she did the same for her children.

With JFK, Jr.,

a fledgling
prosecutor and
Caroline a

new mother,
Jackie can take
pride in her
greatest
achievements:
her children

Having Caroline view her father’s cof-
fin and John give his final salute
served an important purpose. “Partici-
pating in such rituals reinforces at a
crucial moment the sensé of family, of
togetherness, of belonging,” says
Stanley Turecki, M.D., a child psychia-
trist in New York City.

“When a mother can acknowledge
her own sadness,” says Donald Co-
hen, M.D., a child analyst in New
York City, “it allows her children to do
that, too’—the first step in healing.

But Jackie also knew that there
must be a time for celebrating life.
The day of the funeral was John Jr.’s
third birthday. Although many people
suggested that his party be post-
poned, his mother insisted it be held
as planned. Two days later, on Caro-
line’s birthday, Jackie gave another
party, says Sherrye Henry. “Of course,
all of us adults were in tears, but not
Mrs. Kennedy. She did what | couldn't
have done.”

After moving back to Georgetown
following the assassination, Jackie
did everything possible to maintain
continuity for her children. She asked
JFK's special assistant, Dave Powers,
to come over every day and play sol-
dier with John, as he used to in the
White House. “He'll remember his fa-
ther through associations with people
who knew Jack well,” Jackie said.

Even better than a bed of roses are layers of comfy floral

luxuriant old-world look. We let flowers bloom all over
the room, from the fresh-cut arrangements right down to
the carpet. The brass bed and reading lamp cast a regal

pretty pillows throughout (they also make the mahogany

white goose down and covered with 100 percent cotton are a good buy. (Look
for a thread count of 230 or higher—it’s a tighter weave that will keep down from poking through. )

WB Want to vary the look of your bed with the season? Snap on a duvet cover in a different color and fabric.

Hi Remember that color can affect your mood. Surround yourself with white for a light, airy feeling—lace
curtains, thick white towels and a terry robe. Country naturals—blue, red and green accented with denin—
are the time-honored favorites for casual ease. Eye-opening brights—uninhibited colors like sunny yellow,
bubble-gum pink, turquoise, grape and orange—are instant cheer-you-up choices.

i Scents appeal: Set out a small glass bowl of floral potpourri; carry the aroma to your clothes by using quilted,
scented hangers and sachets in closets and drawers.

When you want to slip into something more comfortable, these fabrics
can’t be beat. COUNT ON COTTON Naturally absorbent and
lightweight, cotton pieces layer easily. Keep plenty of cotton T-shirts on
hand to wear under wools and heavy cottons. Scoop up Shaker-knit
sweaters in a rainbow of colors, soft sweats in cotton fleece, oversize
flannel shirts and pajamas, and of course, prewashed denim for your
favorite pair of jeans. WRAPPED IN WOOL For warmth and
durability, big wool sweaters are a best bet—fisherman’s knit, lamb’s-
wool, angora, merino wool and cashmere. SILK SAVVY Look for
supersoft washable silk in big, easy shapes, quilted for extra warmth.

- IPS AT THE HEART OF
EATING RIGHT.

Recent medical evidence has shown that your family’s
| risk of heart disease can be reduced by lowering their

serum cholesterol levels. And because both cholesterol . aa as

and saturated fat can raise those levels,
you should try to include foods that
are low in both in your family’s diet.

Like Promise® Spread. Made with
sunflower oil, it’s lower in saturated fat
than any margarine and has absolutely
no cholesterol.

Try Promise. It’s so delicious, your
whole family might just have a
change of heart about eating right.

Certain high-fiber foods such as corn chips and dried beans contain a substance
known as phytic acid, which can bind zinc, making it less available to the body.
Coffee, tea and cocoa also contain phytates. Alcohol blocks zinc, so avoid it with zinc-rich foods.

Potassium interacts with sodium and calcium to maintain electrolyte balance; eating
potassium-rich foods can help counteract the effects of too much sodium.

In a recent study women who were given 3 mg of boron a day lost 40 percent less
calcium than they did on a low-boron diet. They also showed an increase in estro-
gen—the hormone that helps slow bone loss. (For more on osteoporosis, see page 56.)

thousand feet above. Soon, her fears
were confirmed.

“Derek ran to me and said he and
his sister had been pitching rocks into
the creek and Michelle fell in,” Pam
recalls. “I didn’t want to believe him,
but I knew from his expression that it
was true.”

Controlling her rising panic, Pam
rushed into the house to dial 911. She
then phoned the irrigation company that
controls the flow of water from the Bell
Canyon Reservoir, halfway up the moun-
tain. But the company said it could not
lower the water level of the creek.

Still showing extraordinary presence
of mind, Pam had a neighbor look after
Derek and Nicole while she ran along the
bank, shouting Michelle’s name above
the din of the water. “When I got back
home, the search and rescue team was
already there,” she says.

In fact, a remarkable emergency
network had been activated the mo-
ment Michelle was reported missing.
The emergency room at Children’s Pri-
mary Medical Center in nearby Salt
Lake City was put on alert, as were a
surgical team, an intensive-care unit,
the radiology department and the lab.

crew sped to the creek. An emergency
medical helicopter was dispatched to
the scene, its engine kept warm and
ready for flight should the child be
found.

Search and rescue deputies Dave Nel-
son, Thad Moore and Scott Browning
entered the treacherous waters just
above the point where Michelle had last
been seen. To keep from being swept
along in the violent current, they wore
climbing harnesses, which tethered
them by rope to men onshore.

The water was waist-high and a
numbing 42°F. Rescuers suspected
that Michelle had toppled into the
creek just upstream from a culvert—a
long, concrete pipe—that crossed the
water under a road.

As rescuers searched the culvert, a
backup team erected a series of alumi-
num grids downstream to catch the lit-
tle girl’s body if it appeared and guide
it to the surface, where it could be
seen.

Meanwhile, Michelle’s father, Chris,
a dentist in Salt Lake City, got an
urgent message from his receptionist:
You must go home now! “I drove about
a hundred miles an hour,” he says. “By
the time I got home, Michelle had been
underwater for forty-five minutes.

had been studying new techniques for
helping patients like Michelle.

“[d been fascinated with various
techniques used to rewarm adult vic-
tims of hypothermia, or abnormally
low body temperature,” he says. “In
fact, just a few months earlier, I’d ini-
tiated discussions with the cardiotho-
racic surgeons about the possibility of
using a heart-lung bypass machine to
rewarm a child. We decided that al-
though extracorporeal rewarming, as
the procedure is called, had never been
done before on a child, and had never
been done successfully on a_near-
drowning victim of any age, it might
work. And I knew Michelle was a can-
didate for the technique.”

A serious injury would have made
Michelle ineligible, because a patient’s
blood must be thinned in order to cir-
culate through the heart-lung machine
without clotting. If there’s a major
wound, the patient could bleed to
death. “But Michelle was amazingly
intact,” Bolte says. “We found no indi-
cations of internal bleeding.”

More important, her body was pro-
foundly cold—66°F. Intense cold de-
creases the body’s metabolic demand,
so the brain can survive on small
amounts of oxygen and glucose. If Mi-
chelle had drowned in room-tempera-
ture water, she could have been brain

dead in less than fifteen minutes.

Pam and Chris Funk had been waiting
in a nearby room for nearly half an hour
before Bolte came to talk to them. “He
told us there was a procedure he could
perform on Michelle that might revive
her,” Chris recalls. “I asked him what her
chances of survival were, and he said,
‘About a million to one.’ Then lasked him
what her chances of being normal were, if
she did survive. Again, he answered, ‘A
million to one.’ Those were pretty low
odds, a million times a million.”

Chris turned to Pam and asked, “Is
that a good enough chance? Are you
willing to have Michelle if she’s badly
impaired?” Pam’s answer was immedi-
ate: “Do it. Pll take her any way I can.”

While the heart-lung bypass ma-
chine was being readied, the emergen-
cy team threaded a nasogastric tube
through Michelle’s nose and into her
stomach, where a warm saline solution
was pumped in and suctioned out to
raise her temperature. CPR was con-
tinued for nearly two hours—from the
moment of rescue until her surgery.

A revolutionary treatment

Robert Bowers, a certified clinical perfu-
sionist (heart-lung machine specialist),
operated the machine on which Mi-
chelle was placed. “We (continued)

“When Pam and I were ushered into intensive care,
continues, “we asked my dad to come with us so he ¢

The next morning, Dr. Black told us Michelle had be
to respond to treatment immediately after we saw
and that she’d made steady progress ever since. By m
ing she was on acceptable respirator settings.”

The long road back

Following surgery, Michelle was in a coma. She was|
blind. “Her eyes were deprived of blood for so long {
messages would get to her brain but could not be
cessed,” Black explains. “This kind of loss of sight, kn
as cortical blindness, is sometimes, but not always,
versible,” he adds.

Michelle emerged from her coma gradually. “H
though she seemed unconscious, we talked to her all)
time,” Michelle’s father reports. |

Then, about a week after the accident, came the
ing point. “I was leaving her room to go to work
morning,” says Chris. “I kissed Michelle on the cheek
said, ‘Give Daddy a kiss.’ As I was walking out the dot
heard a kissing sound. I turned around and cried,
chelle, did you blow Daddy a kiss? Give Daddy ano}
one!’ I called in all the nurses and doctors, and they §
this was a significant breakthrough.”

Once out of the coma, Michelle began to get stron

made an incision in her groin and attached two catheters:
one to an artery and another to a vein,” he explains. “Blood
flowed into the machine from her vein. The machine would
send oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide and,
at the same time, rewarm the blood. Then the machine
would pump this oxygenated, warmed blood through her
arteries, doing the work of both heart and lungs.”

Michelle’s temperature began to rise as soon as she was
connected to the machine. She made no spontaneous
movements until her temperature rose to 77°F. Then the
medical team got the sign of encouragement they’d been
waiting and hoping for: Michelle gasped. Her eyes opened
briefly. Five minutes later, her heart began to beat on its
own. When she had been on the machine for less than an
hour, her temperature was restored to normal.

Throughout the first night, Philip Black, M.D., the
pediatric lung specialist who managed her case in inten-
sive care, kept a vigil at Michelle’s bedside. “She suffered
from pulmonary edema—water in the lungs—and we
didn’t know whether her lungs would adequately respond
to direct pulmonary therapy,” he says. “We finally decid-
ed to use a respirator to force air in and out of her lungs.

“We had a backup plan: If Michelle didn’t do well
within an hour or so, we’d put her back on the heart-lung
machine, so her lungs wouldn’t have to work.”

Almost immediately, Michelle seemed to be losing the
ability to absorb oxygen. Black made a decision to push
the respirator harder. Michelle’s survival was on the line.

“After several hours, they called us in to be with her,”
Chris says. “We didn’t learn until later that they’d called
us in to see her before she died.

her siblings and gives back as good as she gets. Piling in
the backseat of the family car, Derek, Michelle and Ni-
cole trade pokes, punches and blows. (The newest addi-
tion to the family, one-year-old Daniel, is spared for now.)

A miracle and an inspiration

The word miracle is often heard when people talk about
Michelle. Not only was she the first child to be revived
from drowning by extracorporeal rewarming; she also
holds the record among brain-intact survivors of any age
ee for the longest cold-water submersion. She was under-

ei water for sixty-six minutes. Before Michelle’s accident,
the longest known submersion was forty-five minutes.
And she had the lowest temperature of any submer-
sion victim to survive intact. Without question, she has
made medical history. But more than a medical miracle,
she’s an inspiration to a remarkable network of dedicated
care-givers. Michelle’s rescue was a high point for the
search and rescue team, which was comprised almost
entirely of courageous volunteers.

Bolte is quick to point out, however, that the vast
majority of children in similar circumstances would not
have fared nearly as well as Michelle. Prevention, he
stresses, is the only real answer. “Better fences and better
child supervision would save more lives than a heart-
lung machine on every corner,” he says.

Bolte’s words do not diminish Michelle’s triumph,
though. She fought a painful battle for her own life. And
she is, quite possibly, the luckiest little girl in the world. &

A media blitz

During the summer of 1985, Margaret and I and the re
the Bush clan were spending a weekend at our fam
summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine. The day we
rived happened to coincide with the announcemen
President Reagan’s colon cancer.

The President’s illness spurred the media to bombard
nation with graphic depictions of the human digestive
tem. What looked like miles of intestines appeare¢
every TV screen and in every major newspaper. Doc
from all over the country were talking about colon
and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. One in
view in particular really hit home. The doctor said, “If
have the following symptoms, you need to see a physi
immediately.” He mentioned blood in the stool, die i
weight loss and chronic fatigue. For the past six wee

Until then, I had done a superb job of pretending I wé
sick. Indeed, my illness was deceptive at first. I hadn’t lq

A couple of days later, I saw a TV news report about
nationwide flight to doctors’ offices. When the reporter |
the vast majority of cases were false alarms, that gave
a fresh reason to postpone seeing the doctor.

A master of denial

However, I got progressively worse over the next se

weeks. The diarrhea became painful and more frequ

also tired all the time.

In the fall of 1985, I finally gave in and saw a specia
who diagnosed my problem as ulcerative colitis—a fo
inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, as it’s comm
called. I was told it was a chronic intestinal disorder ¥
no known cause or cure. The doctor prescribed medica
in an attempt to control my condition. I had a se
allergic reaction to the medicine—my face puffed out li
balloon. For a while, the doctors were busy trying to
trol the allergic reaction. Meanwhile, my underlying co

Then I really started coming apart at the seams. I

PALM SPRINGS: DESERT PARADISE

A funny thing happens every time it rains in Palm
Springs—the whole town rejoices. Throughout this South-
ern California desert community, perfectly sane men and
women turn toward the spewing heavens with giant
smiles on their faces.

No, the residents of Palm Springs have not lost their
toehold on reality. It’s just that with an average three
hundred fifty days of sunshine and less than six inches of

rain a year (most of it confined to late December and | f@istemetimestetets MOPAUE Trae Rene el Eat ese N morniil
January), even the threat of a freak sprinkle offers a

welcome change from the monotony of sunny perfection. ve
Boring as it is, that warm, near-cloudless weather—

plus the area’s proximity to Los Angeles (only 120 miles

away) and its long affiliation with the rich and famous—

has turned Palm Springs and its neighboring communi-

ties in California’s Coachella Valley into one of America’s

premier resort areas ll growing rapidly, the area al-

ready claims more golf courses, tennis courts, and swim-

ming pools per capita than anywhere else in America.
And more celebrity : lents—all of whom seem to

have streets named after them. Where else in the world

can you say, “Meet me on the corner of Bob Hope and

Dinah Shore”? Or “Hang a left on Frank Sinatra”? Bob

and you can somehow do without complimentary water
spritzing—try the Desert Princess Resort, with equally
impressive facilities, in Cathedral City, or the Wyndham,
a classic downtown hotel attached to the convention
center in Palm Springs and within an easy walk of
shopping and restaurants.

Until recently, the Coachella Valley offered surprising-
ly few choices for good dining—it seemed the only option
was the fast-food chains, which popped up on every major
thoroughfare like celebrities at the Bob Hope Golf Classic.
That’s all begun to change, however, and the area now
offers a number of first-rate restaurants, including Palm
Springs’s best-known chic eatery, Melvyn’s, a favorite
with celebrities, and rated one of the world’s ten best by

And no trip to Palm Springs is complete without a visit to
Sonny Bono’s restaurant, at least for the chance to
see Sonny.

Spring is the perfect time to visit the Coachella Valley.
The temperature is in the seventies and eighties (com-
pared with 100°F.-plus in the summer), the desert flowers
are blooming and there’s almost never a cloud in the sky.

But don’t tell that to the sun-weary citizens of Palm
Springs. You'll only depress them.

Idaho has set strict standards for its
outfitters and guides, and it was the
first of the lower forty-eight states to
do so. Its most famous guide was of
course the Indian woman Sacajawea,
who in 1805 led explorers Lewis and
Clark through the Northwest. Begin-
ning on Highway 12 at Lolo Pass, you
can follow their route, which eventual-
ly ends up at the Pacific Ocean.

A favorite tourist treat is the abun-
dance of restored homesteads—origi-
nally built by the trappers, miners and
shipkeepers who settled the state a
century ago—along the Salmon River
and in small towns close by. Each
year, hundreds of visitors climb up the
banks from their chartered jet boats or
rubber rafts, or tie up their horses and
walk into sections of history. By the
Salmon, for example, sits the home of
a Chinese woman sold into slavery in
the late 1800s and sent to the U.S.,
where she eventually married a settler
and lived out her long life along the
water’s edge. There are also the care-
fully preserved buildings of a man who
lived in totally self-sufficient isolation
for thirty years—the classic hermit.

Higher up, in the heart of the Nez
Perce National Forest, stop in the
friendly towns of Dixie and Elk City,
once centers of the gold rush. Travel

by horse and wagon back to the old
Cook Ranch, homesteaded in 1896 by
two fur trappers who left their legacies
in mountain peaks, which they named
after favorite horses. You can see
the remains of their cabins along
Bargamin Creek, and a_ two-story
log home built in 1919, still in
great condition.

Unique to Idaho, and the salvation
of its forest-dwelling families in small
towns and ranches throughout the
state, is the Salmon River Air Star
Route, run by pilot Ray Arnold and his
wife, Carol, out of Cascade. On his
three-hundred-mile mail route, Ray
flies a Cessna aircraft, which covers
some of the most difficult-to-reach
country in America. He also flies in
groceries, news and guests. He is one
of only a handful of pilots available
year-round to take visitors into the
back country, and in the words of his
many patrons, “That Cessna ride was
the best—what a way to enjoy the
beauty of Idaho!” —C.A. COLEMAN

when he served as a Fort Mackinac

The bicycle/walking path that cir-
cles the island is about nine miles
around. Depending on your pace, and
how many sightseeing stops you make,
itll take you one hour to three hours to
complete your journey. While riding or
walking you'll be flanked by the shore
on one side and natural wonders on the
other. Stop at famous Arch Rock, a pre-
historic rock formation that rises 146
feet above the water, and Sugar Loaf,
another natural formation that rises
about seventy-five feet from the ground.

On bustling Main Street, you’ll find
most of the island’s restaurants, which
range from sandwich shops (Murray’s
Delicatessen offers no less that fifty
different kinds of sandwiches!) to more
elegant hotel dining rooms (the Har-
bor View Dining Room at the Chippe-
wa Hotel, the Carriage House at the
Iroquois Hotel, and the Cable Room at
the Lakeview Hotel, to name a few).
There’s an abundance of fudge shops—
visitors to the island are called fud-
gies because they consume so much of
the stuff! Check out May’s Fudge, the
oldest fudge shop in the U.S.

As for lodging, you can choose from

inexpensive bed and breakfasts and
small hotels that start at about $40 a
night for a double; moderate-price ho-
tels (many of which offer views of the
straits), which charge approximately
$110 a night for a double; or the luxu-
rious Grand Hotel, where doubles av-
erage $315 a night. Of the moderate-
price hotels, one of the most charming
is the Windermere, owned by Marga-
ret Doud, mayor of Mackinac Island

In addition to the fun of exploring
the island, there’s golf, tennis, swim-
ming (although the straits is usually
too cold to swim in, you can swim at
hotel pools such as Stonecliffe and the
Grand Hotel) and, of course, shopping.

The season at Mackinac is mid-May
to mid-October. To get to the island,
you can take a ferry from Mackinac
City or St. Ignace. There’s plenty of
parking whether you're going for one
day or a week. Commercial airlines
from Detroit and Chicago provide dai-
ly service to Pellston Airport, seven-

the Pellston, St. Ignace and Mackinac

A serious decision

As I lay in the hospital, the question of
whether I’d need surgery loomed. One
day my mother came in with my reg-
ular physician, W. Tabb Moore,
M.D., and a surgeon, Peter Petrucci,
M.D., who explained that my vital
signs were weakening. To survive, I’d
need a form of surgery that would re-
sult in something called an ostomy. An
ostomy, he explained, is an opening in
the abdomen surgically created for the
passage of waste. About one million
people have undergone ostomy sur-
gery; many of them wear a pouch that
is attached to the body at the opening
to collect waste.

As Dr. Petrucci described the exter-
nal pouch, I was too numb—and too
stubborn—to absorb the fact that I
would have to wear one.

Dr. Petrucci then described the re-
lief other patients experience after os-
tomy surgery. I thought of the alterna-
tives: the unbearable pain, the in-
creased risk of colon cancer associated
with long-standing colitis and, possi-
bly, death. Wearing a pouch seemed
a small price to pay for the privilege
of leading a normal, productive life.

The next morning, May 6, 1986, the
procedure was done. There are several
types of ostomy surgery; I had an ileos-
tomy. (For more about bowel disease
and ostomy procedures, see page 195.)

When I woke up, I felt something
strange attached to my waist. At first,
I felt pretty depressed; I figured wear-
ing a pouch meant I wouldn’t be able
to play sports anymore. But a few days
after my surgery, I got a call from Rolf
Benirschke, former placekicker for the
San Diego Chargers [and now the day-
time host of Wheel of Fortune], who
told me how wrong I was. Ulcerative
colitis had nearly killed Rolf when he
was twenty-five.

Rolf told me that following his sur-
gery, he kicked for the Chargers again
and even won several awards. Now,
retired from pro football, Rolf has de-
voted himself to educating and helping
others like himself and me. He chairs
the selection committee of “Great
Comebacks,” an annual awards pro-
gram for people who have overcome
IBD and ostomy surgery. This year I'll
join him on the committee.

It took five or six weeks to regain
my strength after the operation. But,
to my great relief, I was no longer a
slave to the bathroom!

Of course, getting used to the pouch
was awkward at first. (continued)

But once I learned how to empty it
(several times a day, no more often
than you visit the bathroom) and
change it (about every four or five
days), I was fine. The pouch fits snugly
beneath my trousers and has no effect
on any of my activities.

A welcome-back-to-life present

After I came home from the hospital,
something wonderful happened. We’d
been trying to adopt a child for five
years. Eight days after my surgery, a
little girl was born in Texas, and word
came from the agency that we had
been chosen as her adoptive parents.

Marshall, whom I nicknamed “My
Midget,” was like a gift to celebrate
my survival.

Having an ostomy hasn’t slowed me
down one bit as a father, as a business-
man—I’m now one of three partners in
a small investment firm—or as a
speaker. ve traveled quite a bit on my
dad’s behalf. I can eat pretty much
what I want, and I’m still very athlet-
ic, with basketball, touch football and
tennis on my roster of activities.

I have to admit that when I first
encountered this blip in my happy life,
I thought I'd gotten a raw deal. But
I'm thirty-two now, and I realize what
a great deal I’ve got—I’m alive and I’m
healthy. I plan to stick around a long,
long time . . . long enough to play with
my little Midget’s children someday.

the facts about bowel disease

By Ann Ferrar

Ulcerative colitis—often simply called coli-
tis—is one of the two most common forms
of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The
other common variation is Crohn’s disease.
lleitis is one form of Crohn’s disease.

Two million people in the United States
have IBD, with thirty thousand new cases
diagnosed every year. IBD most commonly
strikes people from the teenage years
through the early thirties. Contrary to what
many assume, IBD has nothing to do with
stomach ulcers, stress or eating spicy foods.

While some confuse the disorder with
irritable bowel syndrome, sometimes called
spastic colon—caused by abnormal contrac-
tions of the bowel—they are totally unrelat-
ed, though some symptoms, such as diarrhea
and cramping, are similar.

The underlying causes of IBD remain a
mystery. Research suggests ileitis has a he-
reditary component—about 20 percent of
sufferers have a close relative with IBD.

The main difference between colitis and
ileitis is their location in the gastrointestinal
(GI) tract. Colitis causes ulceration of the
lining of the large intestine and sometimes
the rectum. Ileitis usually affects the lower
part of the small intestine; Crohn’s disease
can damage any part of the Gl tract.

Colitis and ileitis manifest themselves
similarly, though the severity and frequency
of symptoms differ from person to person.
Abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation or
both, rectal bleeding, fever, dehydration,
nausea and weight loss are common.

Medication and dietary changes can often
keep moderate IBD under control. Anti-in-
flammatory drugs, antibiotics and immuno-
suppressive drugs are all used to treat IBD.
Soft, bland food may be prescribed.

When these measures aren't effective,

doctors may suggest ostomy surgery.

During an ostomy procedure, the diseased
portion of the Gl tract is removed, and a
small portion of the remaining intestine is
brought out through the surgical opening in
the abdominal wall. Many patients must
wear an external pouch attached to the
abdomen to collect body waste.

Some common ostomy procedures include
colostomy and ileostomy, in which the open-
ing is created, respectively, in the large
intestine (colon) or small intestine (ileum),
and ureterostomy, in which the opening lies
in the urinary tract.

A small number of patients have been
able to undergo newer operations that do
not require an external pouch. In such cases,
surgeons construct pouches within the lower
abdomen. The patient empties the internal
pouch by inserting a thin tube through the
abdominal opening, which is covered with a
special patch.

The latest operation, known as an ileoanal
pull-through, permits patients to defecate nor-
mally. In this procedure, the ileum is attached
to the rectum, which does away with the need
for a surgically created opening.

A person who has recovered physically
and emotionally from any type of ostomy
surgery can lead a normal, productive life
that encompasses work, sports and sex.

continued from page 146

although Jackie had vowed after her
husband’s death “to live in the places I
lived with Jack,” she soon realized her
family had to escape from the well-
meaning but intrusive public of Wash-
ington, and the close-knit Kennedys as
well. “Jackie understood the impor-
tance of creating a family unit apart
from the larger Kennedy family,” says
Doris Kearns Goodwin, a friend and
author of The Fitzgeralds and the Ken-
nedys (St. Martin’s Press, 1987). “She
recognized that the children would get
strength from the grandparents and
cousins, aunts and uncles, but it was
growing up with a feeling of belonging to
their own small family that would give
them stability.” So in September 1964,
the three moved to New York in search of
normalcy and relative anonymity.
There, in her fifteen-room apartment
overlooking Central Park, Jackie sur-
rounded her children with interesting
grown-ups. “It didn’t matter that Arthur
Schlesinger or John Kenneth Galbraith
was in the room; there was always a
child in there listening,” says author
George Plimpton, a frequent guest. “She
had a way of igniting their intelligence.”
For the most part, however, the chil-
dren’s days were filled with childish

196

things. Jackie felt it was extremely im-
portant for John and Caroline to have
friends and did everything she could to
ensure that, encouraging them to invite
their playmates home for dinner. She
went to bat for Caroline when she
learned her classmates at the Convent
of the Sacred Heart weren’t inviting her
to their parties. Jackie called the other
mothers and told them she understood
that they probably didn’t want it to
seem as if they were inviting Caroline
simply because she was famous. But
“after all, Caroline’s only a little girl,”
she said. After that, Caroline was al-
ways included.

John, meanwhile, was enrolled at
Saint David’s, an elementary school
for Catholic boys. “Mrs. Kennedy was
a sensible, affectionate mom who hada
straight relationship with her son,” re-
calls headmaster David Hume. “Some
people coo over their children. But by
the time children are seven or eight,
you shouldn’t coo. When they reach
out a hand, you should hold it. When
they want to let go, you should let go.
She understood that.”

A few years later, when Jackie de-
cided to transfer John to Collegiate, a
secular school, news reports said it was
because Saint David’s wanted him to
repeat second grade. A letter Hume
sent to a magazine denying the rumor

was never printed. That incident p
ably fueled Jackie’s resolve to keep |
children out of the public eye.

Although some say John’s trans
to Collegiate was made at the urgi
of Jackie’s friends among the
York literati, others say it was in
ticipation of “The Vows Heard Ro
the World”: her controversial ma
in October 1968 to the Greek shipp
tycoon Aristotle Onassis.

A search for security

By marrying Onassis, a divorced n
Catholic, Jackie risked excommuni
tion. It is primarily for that reas
some say, that she sent John to Co
giate and later transferred Caro
from Sacred Heart to Brearley, an
sectarian girls’ school. While Jad
may have wanted her children to
a secular education, she surely
wanted to spare them any taunt§
they might experience in Cathe
schools while she was being castiga
in the press as a public sinner.

Jackie was willing to endure gs
criticism herself, however, if her m
riage to Onassis, twenty-nine years.

A MOTHER'S JOURNEY

continued

during his wrestling matches.

Because of his younger age, it was
easier for John to relate to Ari as a
stepfather. And it was more impor-
tant, too, as far as his mother was con-
cerned: She desperately wanted him to
have a male role model.

As might be expected, Caroline had a
harder time warming to Ari, and Jackie
didn’t push her, perhaps because she
remembered how she felt when her own
mother remarried.

Old enough when her father died to
have vivid memories of him, Caroline
was the keeper of the flame. As a teen-
ager, her room was a virtual shrine to
JFK, filled with his pictures. When
Jackie’s brother-in-law, Stash Radzi-
will, once suggested she encourage Car-
oline to take some of them down, Jackie
said, “I couldn’t; I simply couidn’t.”

Finally, Caroline may have remained
somewhat aloof from Onassis, despite
his kindness to her, because she was old
enoughs to catch headlines about his
trysts with Maria Callas and Jackie’s
jealous rages. Still, Caroline had
enough fondness for Onassis to call him,
unprompted, from boarding school as he
lay dying in a Paris hospital.

Although the marriage was widely
rumored to be headed for divorce when
Onassis died in 1975, it had probably
served the children well: It gave them,
if not a father, a kindly grandfather
figure; and it gave them time, during
summers in Greece, to discover them-
selves away from not only the prying
eyes of the public but also from the
influence of their Kennedy cousins.
What’s more, the $26 million settle-
ment Jackie negotiated with Christina
Onassis gave her family financial se-
curity for life.

Finding an identity
As her children grew, Jackie’s con-
stant message to them was that they
were John and Caroline first, Kenne-
dys (or Bouviers) second. She sent
them to boarding schools that were not
“society schools” like Miss Porter’s,
which she attended, but tough schools
where they would be intellectually
challenged. Instead of pressuring them
to succeed, she |! .elped them to do so.
When John’s grades flagged, she sent
him to a top adolescent psychiatrist in
New York to get him back on track.
And when he decided to go to Brown
University instead of the Kennedys’
alma mater, Harvard, Jackie backed
him. She was not interested in raising
another JFK, but in raising his son.
She was just as interested, too, in
helping Caroline find her own identity.
Jackie may have been flattered indeed

102

when, over the years, Caroline emulat-
ed her interest in riding, photography,
journalism and the arts. Yet when her
passion for ballet didn’t “take” in Caro-
line, Jackie didn’t force her. Nor did she
force her to make a society debut, al-
though in her time Jackie had been
Debutante of the Year.

Says Dr. Turecki, “When it comes to
things like ballet dancing versus
horseback riding, I believe the person-
al preference of the child should be
respected. We can say to our children,
‘It’s very important for you to have an
interest or hobby,’ but we can’t dictate
to them what it should be.”

That doesn’t imply, however, that
parents don’t sometimes have to take a
stand. Although Caroline and John
were basically “good kids” throughout

“Raising children
is the best thing I’ve —
ever done,” Jackie
says. “Being a mother
is what I think
has made me the
person | am.”

their rebellious years, they were nor-
mal adolescents: There was the joint
birthday party at Le Club for John’s
eighteenth and Caroline’s twenty-first
that turned into a virtual brawl, and
there was the time her mother ordered
Caroline to leave Spain after hearing
she was about to fight her first bull.

Jackie also reportedly objected
strenuously to John’s interest in act-
ing as a career; she felt it was undigni-
fied and potentially dangerous. When
he co-starred—and won rave reviews—
in a play at the Irish Arts Center, in
New York, four years ago, his mother
did not go, apparently to convey her
displeasure. Such an action can be ap-
propriate, says Rosalind Barnett,
Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Wes-
ton, Massachusetts. “If you truly think
your child is heading in the wrong di-
rection, then not endorsing it is the
only way to go. But it doesn’t have to
mean your relationship is over; you
simply agree to disagree.”

The freedom to express themselves
openly is probably another reason that
Jackie’s children have managed to
avoid drinking and drug problems.
“When children have no outlet for
their feelings, that’s when they ‘medi-
cate’ those feelings with pot, alcohol,
or cocaine,” says Maureen Dudley, of

St. Mary’s Rehabilitation Center.

A happy family

If it all fell apart for the John F. Kenr
dys twenty-five years ago, today it k
all come together. Jackie, no long
needing to be protected by a powe
man, has built herself a career in p
lishing since Onassis’s death. She hi
become a major force at Doubleday,
sponsible for a number of best-selle
including the autobiographies of

o4 Can this marriage
r be saved?

n January 23 a new and ex-
citing television show called
Can this marriage be saved?
went on the air across
America. Of course it’s
based on the Journal’s popu-
lar column, which has been
a regular feature for thirty-six years.

The program is being produced by Jeff
Fischgrund Productions and Group W in
association with Ladies’ Home Journal. |
knew when | met Jeff Fischgrund, who’s
the show’s executive pro-
ducer, and Meryl Mar-
shall, who is vice-presi-
dent of program affairs for
Group W, that ours could
be a happy marriage.
That’s because they both
want the show to be as
honest and as helpful as
the Journal column.

Real couples appear on
the show each day. It is hosted by Brenda Wade, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist
who has been in private practice as a family therapist for the past ten years. | thought
she was the perfect host for the show when | met her several months ago. She not only
has the training to help couples whose relationships are in trouble, but she is fascinating
to watch as she helps people break through to new and better understandings.

The program airs Monday to Friday on stations across America. Check your TV listings
to see when it is broadcast in your area. If it’s not yet on your local station, call the
station manager and ask when it will be going on.

When Jeff Fischgrund first came to me after reading a dozen or so “Can this marriage
be saved?” columns, he said, “You know, it’s kind of like thirtysomething.” Personally |
think thirtysomething is kind of like “Can this marriage be saved?’ Ladies’ Home Journal
did it first, and millions of women have loved reading this feature for years. | think you'll
love watching the Can this marriage be saved? TV show as well.

SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Quitting Smoking
Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health.

How could Jennifer really
confront Mike if she

felt she had no voice at
all in her marriage?

By Laurie Werner

Introduced thirty-six years ago, “Can
this marriage be saved?” is the most
popular, most enduring women’s
magazine feature in the world. This

month’s case is based on interviews
with clients ar ormation from the
files of Debra Pearl, M.S.W.,
C.S.W., director of the East Side

Center for Short Term Psychotherapy,
in New York City. The story reported
here is true, although names and details

have been changed to conceal identities.

me around’

Jennifer's turn

“LAST WEEK, SOMETHING
terrifying happened to me—
something I can’t explain,”
said Jennifer, twenty-nine,
a pretty blond who spoke in a
tremulous voice. “I couldn’t ex-
plain it to my husband, though
I did try. As usual, all he did
was scream at me!

“Td been out for dinner with
some friends from work—I’m
an illustrator for a greeting-
card company—and we’d gone
to a new res-
taurant down-
town. Dessert
was just being
brought to the
table... and
that’s the last
thing that Ican
remember. My
heart started
to pound... my head throbbed,
and I began to gasp for air. I
must have passed out.

“The next thing I knew it was
two in the morning, and I was
walking in our front door to the
sounds of one of Mike’s tan-
trums. Apparently, my
friend Charlotte had taken me
to the emergency room; they
examined me but found noth-
ing wrong. The doctor said it

was an anxiety attack.

“I was so confused and so
scared. And all Mike could say
was, ‘You’ve done it again. I
can’t trust you.’

“Why is he like this? Grant-
ed, I’ve stayed out late with
friends in the past, but I didn’t
plan to faint!

“You see, just after we mar-
ried three years ago, Mike—
he’s an executive with a res-
taurant chain—started to trav-
el a lot. It really got out of
hand. Sometimes he’d be away
weeks at a time. I got so lonely
I hated to go home.

“So I started making dates
to have dinner. If Mike came
home, things would get sticky.
He’d yell, ‘Youre’ my wife;
your place is home with me to-
night,’ but I didn’t want to
break commitments, so wed
argue about it, and Mike
wouldn’t talk to me for days.

“After a while, the criticism
became nonstop. Mike started
to pick on my friends, my
work, you name it. He makes
me feel terrible by insisting
that people at work are taking
advantage of me.

“IT try to talk to him about
these things, but all he does is
cut me off in that hostile voice

sends shivers down my back.

“It’s this bossy manner, which his
father also has, that drives me crazy.
My father-in-law is a very dictatorial
man who always lashes out at Mike’s
mother and Mike.

“And now Mike bosses me around in
that same demeaning voice. I’m not
allowed any say at all: We have to
leave to visit his parents at the precise
moment Mike wants to leave; and if
we're on our way somewhere—to work
or a movie—and I want to stop off for
some toothpaste, I’m not allowed.

“Look, I always knew Mike was
strong willed, and I even liked the fact
that he took charge. We met in college;
Pd dated one of his friends, and we got
to know each other casually. I thought
he was so impressive—smart, self-pos-
sessed. But I didn’t think I was smart
enough to really talk to him then. Be-
sides, he was a lot more mature, so we
would just flirt. Nothing more.

“That changed a few months after I
graduated. I was offered a job in the
city, so I moved there. I ran into Mike,
and he asked if I wanted to have
drinks. I said yes, and before the eve-
ning was out, I was hooked.

was sheltered. I have three brothers—
I’m the next to youngest—and we area
very supportive bunch, though we
don’t see much of each other now.

“I needed that kind of nurturing.
Growing up, I was a pretty lonely kid;
I was shy and very overweight, and
other children picked on me a lot.

“That’s one reason I relied so much
on Mike: He takes care of me.

“Those first two years we were mar-

weren’t problems—Mike would come
on too strong sometimes. But it was
nothing like what he does now.

“Obviously, something is very
wrong: The episode last week proves it.
So does a discussion we had right be-

“We started talking about when we
were going to have kids of our own. We
both agreed we wanted children, but
the question was when and how to ar-

(continued) “Why does Jennifer
get everything backward? Even our
argument about having kids is
twisted. I’m sure I said something
to that effect, but the way she says I
said it—in that mean and nasty
tone—is patently false. I was proba-
bly pointing out that in order for us
to survive financially, I have to
work full-time. But Jennifer could
conceivably work from home.

“It really sounds like Jennifer’s
trying to blame her anxiety attack
on me. In fact, she’s blaming me for
all the things that are wrong with
her life. Well, I
won’t sit here and
take it. I love her,
I want to help her.

But not if it means saying that this
situation is all my fault.”

The counselor's turn

“When Jennifer came in, she was
very agitated,” noted the counselor.
“The anxiety attack had terrified
her, as it would anyone.

“Yet despite her complaints about
her marriage, Jennifer still seemed
mystified as to the attack’s cause.
Since Mike was so resistant to being
in counseling and said very little at
first, we concentrated on Jennifer.

“We began with the issue of Mike’s
traveling, and as Jennifer described
in detail how she felt, her tone
changed. She started angrily articu-
lating how abandoned she had felt.

“However, when I asked Jennifer
if she had ever told this to her hus-
band, she shook her head. ‘I’d be
afraid he’d leave for good,’ she said.

“As we talked further, it became
clear that Jennifer rarely confront-
ed him on anything that bothered
her, because she believed she had
no control in their relationship.

“To boost. Jennifer’s self-esteem,
we needed to get to the root of her
helplessness.

“When I asked Jennifer about her
family and childhood, she continued
to paint a rosy picture of a tight-
knit home. However, her tales did

not ring true—witness the fact that
she had no contact at all with her
family now—and after persistent
questioning, a more realistic pic-
ture emerged.

“It seems that Jennifer’s family
was not at all supportive. Her moth-
er was a demanding woman who
was quite critical of her daughter;
her father, wrapped up in his busi-
ness, didn’t have much time for his
daughter; and her siblings, rather
than protecting her from the verbal
taunts, had actually continued the
abuse. Jennifer had felt unable to
fight back and defend herself—a
pattern that haunted her into her
adulthood and marriage.

“Jennifer also wouldn’t acknowl-

“She blames me for all the things
that are wrong with her life,” Make
said. “I won't sit here and take it.”

edge her role in her marital con-
flicts, refusing to admit, for in-
stance, that she had indeed stayed
out late on purpose as a way of pun-
ishing Mike. Instead of talking to
Mike, she withheld her feelings.

“Jennifer's anger built up for
years, but she could never release
it. Finally, the conversation about
children pushed her over the edge
and triggered her anxiety attack.

“Interestingly, Mike also denied
things. Because he hated his fa-
ther’s behavior, he kept insisting he
was nothing like him. Nevertheless,
he did tend to be dictatorial, often
falling into his father’s sexist pat-
terns—claiming Jennifer’s career
wasn’t as important as his own, for
instance. What’s more, whenever
something did not go his way, he
flew into a rage. Then, too, Mike
tended to take his frustrations out
on his wife, even if the cause had
nothing to do with her; his tantrum
when she asked him to curb the
traveling was born of his own frus-
tration over working too hard for a
man he didn’t respect. He had to
learn to focus on the real cause of
his problem, to speak up and do
something if he could or, if he
couldn’t, at least to put the problem
in its proper place.

“Yet Mike often felt powerless,
too. And so, when he was justifiably

upset—as he was with Jennifer’s
staying out late—he was unable to
modulate his emotions.

“Once Jennifer and Mike under-
stood this about themselves, we
were able to better analyze the dy-
namics of their relationship. From
the beginning, Jennifer was the de-
pendent one, and Mike unconscious-
ly strove to maintain the status
quo: His insistence on making all
plans was a way he tried to control
every situation.

“However, it was also clear that
while Jennifer allowed Mike to be
the dominant partner, she also nev-
er gave him a chance to express his
feelings of insecurity or frustration.
Jennifer had to learn to be respon-
sive to Mike’s needs; he
had to realize he didn’t
have to be Mr. Tough
Guy all the time. And
they both had to learn to
talk to each other, rather
than at each other.

“One evening Mike
came l..me from work ob-
viously angry; when Jen-
nifer asked what was
wrong, he grew livid that she had
made no dinner.

“Instead of just trying to steer
clear of her husband, Jennifer con-
fronted him. ‘You’re in a>rage,
Mike,’ she said. ‘I find it intimidat-
ing, and I want you to stop or [ll
leave.’ Seeing he was out of control,
Mike calmed down.

“Gradually, Mike came to under-
stand that he shouldn’t criticize his
wife and that she desperatly needed
him to truly listen to her. He also
made a point of calling Jennifer to
keep her informed of his travel plans
so that she did not make conflicting
appointments. At the office, he final-
ly felt strong enough to ask to be
transferred to another department.

“I urged them to continue to talk
openly with each other—about
what they both expected from the
marriage, what they liked about
the relationship and what wasn’t
working. Clearly, they made prog-
ress; by the time we ended counsel-
ing one year later, the level of fight-
ing was way down, the level of un-
derstanding way up.

“At our last session, it was obvi-
ous that this couple once again en-
joyed being with each other. What’s
more, Mike told me they had start-
ed to look into day-care facilities in
their neighborhood; Jennifer had
just learned she was pregnant.” I

lay in bed in the psychiat-
ric hospital, tears running
down my face. For four-
teen years I’d battled an
unknown illness ___ that
made me suffer migraine head-
aches, constant nausea, swollen
joints and panic attacks. No
doctor could figure out what
was wrong with me, and most
now doubted my sanity. My
marriage was in a shambles,
and I was a mother in name
only to my two sons. My life had
become an unending nightmare
of hospitals and pain. What I
didn’t know was that all my
problems were the result of an
operation that
I—just like
hundreds of
thousands of
other women—
had undergone
to zmprove my
health.

When I was
twenty-three, I
had had a hysterectomy, just
three months after the birth of
my second son, David, Jr. I had
been experiencing constant hem-
orrhaging, and although my gy-
necologist had tried to stop the

bleeding by performing aD & C
(dilation and curettage), it had
not worked. He was very con-
cerned, especially because Id
had a difficult time giving birth.
The doctor said that having an-
other child could kill me, and he
advised me to have a hysterecto-
my. “You'll feel wonderful,” he
assured me. “No more hemor-
rhaging, no more periods. It will
be a blessing.”

Young and naive, I didn’t
even consider getting a second
opinion. I trusted my doctor.

But one morning six months
after the operation, my troubles
really began. I woke up with a
severe migraine — headache,
achy, swollen joints and ex-
treme nausea. My husband, Da-
vid, took me to our family doc-
tor, who said that I had the flu.

It was a flu that went on and
on. My symptoms would go
away only to reappear. Finally,
David said, “No one can have
the flu so often. We'd better
take you to a specialist.”

(continued) nothing wrong. I began
to feel as if I were imagining my
illness, but the pain was all too
real. I had to quit my job in a phar-
macy because I was so sick, and |
was unable to care for my sons.

As a last resort, I went to see a
psychiatrist. His diagnosis haunted
me for years.

“Ria, you're making yourself sick
because you secretly want to have
more children. Without a uterus,
you don’t feel like a woman,” he
said matter-of-factly.

I was devastated, yet I believed
him. After all, several doctors had
already told me my problems were
all in my mind. And I had wanted a
big family. The psychiatrist advised
meditation and other mind-over-
matter exercises. I tried to do what
he suggested, but it didn’t work.

For several years, I was in and
out of hospitals. I couldn’t keep food
down, and my weight dropped from
one hundred twenty pounds to ninety-
eight pounds.

My sickness began to take its toll
on David. The wrinkles on his face
had deepened, and he started drink-
ing. At night he’d come home drunk
and yell at the boys.

Because I was always bedridden
and David was drinking almost con-
stantly, the boys were forced to raise
themselves. As often happens in trou-
bled families, Joe, the oldest, became
the caretaker and protector. If David
verbally abused me or David, Jr., Joe
would stand up for us. When I was
home from the hospital, he checked on
me constantly. Young David would sit
beside my bed and read to me. Their
love and concern filled me with both
joy and sadness. I felt I didn’t deserve
such good children.

After five years of my illness, our
family began to fall apart financial-
ly as well as emotionally. I spent so
much time in the hospital that the
bills totaled hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Although insurance cov-
ered 80 percent of the cost, the 20
percent we owed added up quickly.
We couldn’t afford to pay our mort-
gage, and we were so far behind on
our utility payments that our gas
and electricity had been turned off.
Not only that, we owed a loan com-
pany $3,000 and they were demand-
ing payment. Eventually, we were
forced to declare bankruptcy.

I thought then that things had
reached rock bottom, but I was
wrong. In 1978, David, who worked
as a foreman for a lumber company,

was transferred from Los Angeles
to Lake Elsinore, California. Soon
after we moved, I became very ill
and had to be admitted to the local

hospital several times. They
couldn’t find anything wrong with
me either. Finally, the doctor there
told us that he was transferring me
to another facility that could help
me. When I arrived at the new hos-
pital, I saw bars on the windows.
Horrified, I realized the doctor had
sent me to a psychiatric hospital.

I started screaming. “Don’t leave
me here, David, please!”

My husband began to cry. “Give
it a try, Ria,’ he pleaded. “Maybe
they can help you.”

I gave up then and agreed to be
committed. What does it matter? I
thought dully. Maybe I am crazy.

During the next four years I was
in and out of that psychiatric hospi-
tal ten times. All it ever did was
make me more depressed.

I had no life. Physically, I kept
getting sicker and sicker; I couldn’t
even get out of bed. I felt terribly

guilty about what I was putting my
family through. I finally decided
they’d be better off without me.

The next time I was released from
the hospital I took an overdose of
sleeping pills and drank half a bot-
tle of liquor—but a neighbor found
me shortly after I passed out and
called an ambulance.

Convinced that suicide was the an-
swer, I tried to kill myself again,
slashing my wrists. Once again,
someone came home in time to find
me—my son David. He was furious
and refused to talk to me for weeks
afterward. I realized then that my
death would only hurt my children
more than they were already hurting.

After my second suicide attempt,
the doctors told my family that I
couldn’t cope in the outside world
and that Id probably have to be
institutionalized for life. I had been
making myself sick all these years
to get attention, they concluded. At
that point, I think my family start-
ed to believe them.

Hysterectomy: what every woman should know

Although Ria Gagnon’s story has a happy
ending, there is still much controversy
surrounding posthysterectomy syndrome.
In fact, many doctors do not believe the
disorder exists, and even those who do
differ greatly over how to treat it; some
feel that hormone treatments such as the
ones Ria underwent are not always the
answer. “There is simply not a lot of
objective medical data about treating
posthysterectomy medical problems,”
says Gloria Bachmann, M.D., associate
professor of obstetrics and gynecology at
Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, in
New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Hysterectomy itself is a controversial
procedure. Although approximately
600,000 to 700,000 hysterectomies are
performed each year in the U.$.—mak-
ing it one of the nation’s most common
surgeries—there is growing disagree-
ment in the medical community about
whether it is always necessary.

Many of the women who undergo this
operation do experience depression, loss
of sexual desire, bone and joint pain,
and fatigue—the symptoms some doctors
link under the label posthysterectomy

syndrome. Women who have-had hyster-
ectomies in which their ovaries were also
removed are af an increased risk for
osteoporosis, since the ovaries supply es-
trogen, which protects against bone loss.
And for reasons doctors can’t explain,
hysterectomy patients, just like post-
menopausal women, may also be at an
increased risk for heart disease.

Clearly, it’s up to women to arm
themselves with information about hys-
terectomy and its aftermath. If your doc-
tor advises you to have this operation,
it's wise to get a second and even a third
opinion. If you have already had a hys-
terectomy and experience medical or
emotional problems, be sure to have a
complete medical examination to help
pinpoint what's wrong, recommends
Bachmann. “It’s important to rule out
every medical possibility before undergo-
ing any kind of treatment,” she stresses.

medical treatments to hysterectomy, con-

Better than ever

We’re proud to announce the

five fabulous-looking women

who won the Oil of Olay-LHJ “I look great for my age” contest: Grand

prize winner Carolyn Neff—who will appear on As the World Turns and

receive a one-year family membership to the health club of her choice—

and runners-up Priscilla Osborne, Elena Williams, Kip Kirby and

Helen Kent, who will all receive a year’s supply of Oil of Olay skin

products. How do these women, who range in age from forty to

ninety, stay so vibrant, healthy and young-looking? Read on for their tips .. .

Carolyn Neff

fifty-six, is a mom of three daughters (and grand-
mother of ten!). Since retiring from nursing, she
keeps herself busy by gardening, taking long walks
around the grounds of her ten-acre ranch in Yorba
Linda, California, and sewing her own designer-style
clothing. She credits her youthful complexion to a
three-day-a-week exercise routine with weights, a
fat-free diet and a strict skin-care regimen. “I would
never go to bed without cleansing my face thorough-
ly and moisturizing,” says Carolyn. She also never
goes outside without wearing sunscreen (SPF 15)
and a big-brimmed hat. Since Carolyn’s skin is on
the dry side, she’s discovered a softening secret:
She applies a thick coating of moisturizer to her
face, lets it sink in and rinses it off with a warm
washcloth for instant suppleness. How did Carolyn
feel about being the grand prize winner? “It’s a
dream. | never thought it would happen to me! “

Priscilla Osborne

a forty-year-old mother of
two sons, hails from Mt. Mor-
ris, Iliinois. She’s a personnel
administrator who loves to
paint and sculpt in her spare
time. Priscilla let us in on her
skin-moisturizing secret: “I
blend moisturizer with water
and massage the mixture into
my skin with damp fingers to
plump up fine facial lines.”
Priscilla also protects her skin
by topping her moisturizer
with a liquid base and, natu-
rally, staying out of the sun.

meet the runners-ip

Elena Williams

forty-five, is an on-the-go mother of a five-year-old son and works in the
office of special programs at a public school in New City, New York. She
cleanses, tones and moisturizes her skin twice a day, eats nutritious meals
and gets plenty of sleep—the key to great skin. Elena says, “My family keeps
me young. If you think young, you'll stay young.” A terrific philosophy!

Kip Kirby

forty-three, is a native of Nashville,
and a host of a TV entertainment show.
Since she has to wear a lot of makeup
for the camera and travels a lot, her
biggest skin problem is dehydration. So
she relies on moisturizer and spritzes
her face often with mineral water. She
keeps her energy level up by walking
on a treadmill at the gym. She walks
while listening to Bruce Springsteen on
her headphones which, says-Kip,. makes
exercise more fun!

Helen Kent

ninety, from West Bloomfield, Michigan,
is proof positive that a lifetime devotion
to skin care yields beautiful results. Hel-
en admits that good genes are part of
the reason she has good skin, but she’s
also diligent about cleansing and mois-
turizing twice daily. She climbs stairs for
exercise and told us that positive think-
ing and an oufgoing personality keep
her young. Says Helen, “I always look on
the sunny side of life—it means a lot for
the way you look.” We hope we look as
fabulous as Helen when we’re her age!

arlee Matlin’s star turns at the Academy Awards have been known
to cause the sort of stir usually reserved for Cher’s clothing—or lack
thereof. In 1987, at age twenty-one, she riveted the audience on two
counts; not only was she the first hearing-impaired actress to win
the Best Actress Oscar, she was also the first to wear a promlike gown of

(continued) this mercurial,
passionate actress. She’s as
stubbornly individualistic as
Sarah Norman, the isolated
deaf woman she played -in
Children of a Lesser God, and
she’s just as determined as Sa-
rah to live life on her own terms.

Since her Oscar-winning role as Sarah, Marlee has
seldom slowed down. True, her second film, last year’s
Walker—based on the life of William Walker, the Amer-
ican adventurer who led a takeover of Nicaragua in
1855—was a box-office dud. Yet Marlee bounced back
with a starring role in the upcoming CBS-TV movie
Bridge to Silence, the story of a deaf woman whose
mother battles her for custody of her hearing child. And
she’s also performing her first spoken role in a feature
film now in development.

Marlee doesn’t like to be described as a deaf actress;
“T’m an actress who happens to be deaf,” she signs.

Still, she does not shy away from advocating the needs

“Marlee is unpredictable, delicious,

aggravating, annoying.

And I’m totally in love with her,” says

producer Stockton Briggle.

and rights of the hearing-impaired. She’s testified be-
fore the Senate on the need for a national institute on
deafness, and she was a guest last year on Nightline
when the controversy at Gallaudet University, the
nation’s only liberal arts college for the deaf, was at its
peak. (The college was going to install a hearing presi-
dent who couldn’t sign.) She refuses to be interviewed on
programs that are not closed-captioned for the hearing-
impaired, and she made it clear that she would not
accept her role in Bridge to Silence unless CBS provided
captioning for the film.

Some leaders of the deaf community thought that
Marlee’s spoken announcement at the Oscars suggested
that sign language is inferior to speech as a form of
communication. But Marlee, who worked daily for
months with a speech therapist to improve her speaking
skills, makes no apologies for her actions.

“It was a great accomplishment for me,” Marlee says.
“It’s what I wanted to do, because a lot of people all over
the world were able to see me for who I am.

“I understand their opinions. But why don’t they
understand my value? Why don’t they understand my
qualities? My abilities to give?” she asks.

The actress prides herself on her mastery of both the
deaf and hearing worlds. Although she was born with
normal hearing, a bout with roseola (a form of measles
that mainly affects children) at eighteen months left her
profoundly deaf. (She has about 20 percent hearing in
one ear and can pick up some sounds with a hearing aid.)

Her parents learned to sign and searched for the best
schools for her. “I dealt with the outside world from the
age of three,” says Marlee. “I was not shut out.”

Angry young woman

Despite her family’s support, Marlee experienced great
emotional turmoil as a child. She was often teased by

classmates, and in frustration, she’d throw temper
tantrums. “I wanted to be perfect, and I couldn’t accept
my deafness. I was so angry and frightened.”

Acting provided a refuge. Marlee spent her free time
at the Center on Deafness, near her home in the Chicago
suburbs, studying drama and performing with the chil-
dren’s theater group. However, she stopped acting after
she entered high school.

Hoping to go into police work, Marlee studied crimi-
nal justice at a junior college, but she left when she
learned her career opportunities would be limited by her
disability. A Chicago revival of the Broadway hit Chil-
dren of a Lesser God soon renewed her interest in the
stage. A friend encouraged her to audition, and Marlee
won a supporting role.

When casting for the film was under way, a talent
agent sent a video of the Chicago production to the
producers. They thought the young costar would make a
better Sarah than the actress playing the lead on tape.
When they tested Marlee with William Hurt in Los
Angeles, they were sure of it.

The screen test did more than
match up two outstanding perform-
ers—it launched a love affair as in-
tense as the scrutiny they received
from the press. The chemistry be-
tween the two was evident from the
start, and when Hurt brought Marlee
a pint of her favorite pink bubble-
gum ice cream on the set, she melted.
They shared Hurt’s Central Park
West apartment for two years, until
the romance abruptly ended in late
1987, reportedly because Hurt was upset over Marlee’s
overnight success. :

Disarmingly charming

Though the split was difficult for her, she chose to move
on rather than dwell on the past. Her name has since
been linked to several other Hollywood bachelors. She’s
been squired by Rob Lowe and most recently by Richard
Dean Anderson, star of the TV show MacGyver. “I charm
them,” she says mischievously. :

The long-distance relationship with Anderson—Mac-
Gyver films in Vancouver—ended last year. Marlee is
clearly saddened, but she maintains her steadfast inde-
pendence when it comes to talking about liaisons of the
heart—she won't. ;

“Tm through talking about my personal life,” she says
adamantly, shoving her hands to both sides for empha-
sis. (The ever-vigilant gossip pages are still following
her closely, however, and it.was even rumored at one
point that she’d become close to Bill Hurt once more.)

Dating men with normal hearing poses no problem for
Marlee. For one thing, she’s an accomplished lip-reader;
for another, she speaks very clearly, particularly since
her recent training. And many men find her so fascinat-
ing that they learn how to sign.

But Marlee is a perfectionist when it comes to commu-
nication, so to avoid any misunderstanding when she
works, she uses an interpreter. Jack Jason, whose
parents are deaf, makes all her business calls and
translates on the set, on television and in her business
meetings. “Interpreters make our lives easier,” Marlee
says simply.

If she had her way, the whole world would know sign
language. “We deaf people have to learn how to speak—
not necessarily in the verbal sense—but we have to
learn to cope with the (continued on page 48)

world we live in. Why not everyone?”
The unusual aspects of deafness
amuse her at times. Marlee once parked
her car en route to a friend’s house and
strode away, not noticing that the car
was emitting a loud wail. Jason waved
to get her attention. “Marlee! The
noise!” he signed. “Oh!” she said. “A lot
of good an alarm does a deaf person!”
The production crew of Bridge to Si-
lence encountered many challenges on
the set, not the least of which were
Marlee’s volatile moods, which alter-
nately exasperated and delighted her

co-workers. “She’s unpredictable, deli-
clous, aggravating, romantic, annoy-
ing. And I’m totally in love with her,”
says producer Stockton Briggle.

Despite. her headstrong behavior,
Marlee can also be thoughtful, sending
flowers and gifts to people on the set.
Marlee once gave an assistant director,
who had just become a father, an exqui-
site treasure-chest music box. She put
her hand on the base, delighting in the
rhythm of the toy.

An unconventional lifestyle

True to form, Marlee spends her limited
free time her own way. While other

actresses her age are buying houses

wood Hills home of actor/director Her
Winkler (“The Fonz”) and his wife,

niacin and cholesterol

The latest vitamin trend: taking niacin to lower blood cholesterol.
But large amounts of niacin can produce serious side effects,
including liver and stomach disorders and irregular heartbeat.
(Many women take hundreds of times more than 13 mg, the
recommended daily niacin allowance for women aged twenty-two
to fifty.) If you take megadoses of niacin, have your doctor moni-
tor your blood level regularly to head off potential problems.

caffeine and glaucoma

Trade in your java for decaf if you suffer from glaucoma, an eye
disease that causes more than five thousand cases of

blindness a year. Just two cups of coffee can hike fluid pressure

in the eye and keep it high for three hours or more. This

hastens degenerative changes that can lead to blindness, say
researchers from the University of Texas at Dallas. Their advice to
glaucoma patients: Drink only one cup of caffeinated coffee a day.

There’s an exciting new anticancer tool: vaccines that immunize patients aainst tl their own
tumors. Studies at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and seven other hospitals
indicate that the vaccines prevent recurrences in up to 75 percent of patients with colon
cancer or malignant melanoma. If experimental results hold up, the vaccines could be in
widespread use soon. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with these forms of
cancer, phone for information about the hospital nearest you that’s studying the vaccines. Call

How to have

an affair with
your husband

Sex therapists know that boredom 1s the number-one problem
in Americas bedrooms. Read this to revitalize your marriage.

Kevin: “I’ve been fantasizing about making love
with you all day.” [But I’m not aroused . . . in fact, I
hope I can perform]

Anna: “Me too. I want you so much.” [Not really; I
had a stressful, exhausting day at work]

Kevin: “Let’s make love right now.” [I’d better before
it’s too late]

Anna: “You’re outrageous.” [I hope I can get excited
quickly] ae.
Kevin: “Sweetheart, you're the best.”

Anna: Sighs, moans, shudders. [I'll fake it and not
hurt his feelings]

Kevin: “Did you?”

Anna: “Oh, God, yes. You’re in-
credible.”

Kevin: “So are you.”

Sex without honest communi-
cation is, at best, an empty
and routine act, and yet-many married couples like
Anna and Kevin repeat such encounters time and
time again, often despite their best intentions to
create something better. In such a situation, when
both partners are just playing along, sexual bore-
dom and dissatisfaction are inevitable.

In a long-lasting, truly intimate relationship,
however, real sexual excitement and pleasure are
not based upon any standard of performance but
develop from emotional intensity and the ability to
regenerate passion. Couples can learn to create
great freedom by establishing a bond of trust,
which alleviates the pressure and fear of judgment
and rejection. It is only by trusting (continued)

John and Karen had been married for

fr } AN year-old schoolteacher.

; ' They were married seven

; . years ago and have two

children. Now that the

children are in nursery

schoo] and kindergarten,

Vicky has gone back to work part-time. From the

outside it appears they have an ideal relationship, with

jobs they enjoy and a bright future. They haven’t told

their friends about any problems, yet behind the closed
doors of their bedroom, arguments prevail.

“There’s no adventure in our lives,” Tod laments.
“And I wonder if our sex life will ever be as passionate

as it once was.”

Vicky, meanwhile, has her own complaints. “Tod
comes to bed at one A.M. and expects me to be ready and
waiting for him. He hasn’t paid any attention to me all
day and is totally insensitive to the fact that I have to get
up before he does to prepare breakfast. If he doesn’t have
chores around the house, he has work he’s brought home
or some sports event to watch on TV. I think he’s lost all
real interest in me.”

When Tod and Vicky came to see us for therapy, we
said, “You both realize that you're still in love. The
question is whether you are motivated enough to break
your patterns now.” Fortunately they came in early
enough and were still optimistic about becoming in-
volved lovers again.

If you would like to overcome sexual conflicts and
renew enjoyment and sexual satisfaction with your
husband, we suggest you follow the prescription we gave
Tod and Vicky—have an A.F.F.A.I.R. with your mate.

A-Adventure: Like Tod and Vicky, you may realize
that your relationship is filled with “shoulds,” “oughts”
and “have tos,” which each partner takes for granted. To
avoid getting locked into boring routines, take turns
planning a once-a-month adventure for the two of you.
Tod, for example, planned an elaborate picnic. Vicky
took Tod on an art tour to the museums and galleries he
never had time for.

F-Fun: Marriage doesn’t always have to be grown-up.
All work and no play makes any relationship dull. Try
having a party in your bedroom. Wear something sexy,
turn on the stereo and pour a glass of champagne.

F-Fantasy: Give your imagination and creativity free
rein. Take turns or else create the fantasy together.
Here are some suggestions toignite your imagination—
M@ Imagine that you have entered a palace of sexual
pleasure with a personal slave at your beck and call.

M@ Try switching traditional sex roles completely.
This applies to “dating” and lovemaking.

@ Write down your most erotic fantasy, and read it to
your partner.

A-Affection: There is nothing more welcome when
you're feeling down than your lover offering a big hug.
In every relationship there will be occasions when one
lover needs more from the other. It is important to be
sensitive to those times, while responding with consid-
erate, loving gestures.

I-Intimacy: Sexual energy is one form of vitality,
intimate energy another. Try to think of ways that you
and your mate can find true intimacy in everything you
do, including even the most everyday activities, such as
going for a walk or cooking a meal.

Also, be willing to share your deepest feelings and
fears with each other.

R-Romance: If you continue to kindle romance, you
will continue to experience your partner as your lover. A
monogamous relationship is a creative challenge. Be

ready to seduce your partner into intimacy and passion.
Three helpful ideas —

@ Plan a romantic evening for this week. Think of
what details would make it special and memorable.
What would you wear and eat? What would be the ideal
setting and tone? Now follow through with your plans
and make it happen.

Mi Romance does not have to cost anything if you use
your imagination. Be tourists in your own city, guests in
your own home.

M@ Many couples say that the one thing they miss,
even in a very happy relationship, is the romance, the
excitement and uncertainty, of a new encounter with
someone. Role-play your first date and first lovemaking.

SEXUAL FULFILLMENT AND LOVE

By far the most important element for fulfilling sex is
love. The more fully you and your lover are in touch with
each other’s feelings, the better will be your sexual
experience. A compulsive search for bigger and better
orgasms will only produce flashes of excitement fol-
lowed by boredom and irritation. The key to developing
your full sexual potential lies primarily in discovering
your full capacity for sharing feelings.

Too often couples fall into the trap of taking sexual
issues in their relationship too seriously. The key to
solving sexual problems can often be to simply relax,
rekindle the romance and have more fun together with-
out putting pressure on each other to change.

Rejuvenating your relationship is an opportunity to
rediscover each other, to fall in love with your partner
all over again. You remain familiar and fresh, instead of
growing bored and tired. Remember, the great reward of
intimate sex is inward—a journey of the heart and soul
as well as the senses. a

Harold Bloomfield,M.D., is a psychiatrist specializing in
human relationships. His wife, Sirah Vettese, Ph.D., isa

6 tips for a happier love life

1. Slow down, take your time and cherish your lover. This is
the single most important piece of advice, as it allows you to
tune in to the rhythms of your own arousal and your partner's.
2. Be sensitive to what arouses your mate, and be sure to let
him know what arouses you. Don’t be afraid of simple, direct
statements such as “It turns me on when you let me...”

3. Allow yourself to indulge in fantasy: It’s a normal and
natural part of one’s sexual self. Sexual fantasies are just that;
they require neither action nor guilt.

4. Emphasize loving contact, not performance. Men often worry
that they will fail in bed, but remember that any time you
share a close moment, it’s a success.

5. Divorce your parents from your sex life. It’s amazing what
emotional baggage we bring to bed with us. Just because your
mother didn’t do it or would disapprove doesn’t mean it can’t
or shouldn't be a healthy and fulfilling part of your sex life.
6. Alcohol is not a substitute for intimacy nor a means to reach
it. Couples or individuals who drink in order to release their
emotions come up against a dead end: It is more difficult to
have an orgasm when under the influence.

“Fatal Vision” jm

t eleven o'clock on the morning of Thursday, September 6, 1984, Roby
Marshall was awakened by his mother, Maria. This was unusual. Most
days he’d been sleeping past noon since his job as a lifeguard had
ended, and his college classes did not begin for another week.

“Roby, honey, your father and I are going to have lunch at the club. Do you want to come?”

Roby’s relationship with his father had been a little rocky through the summer, and Roby
figured he’d better try to mend fences. He told his mother he would join them, then got up,
showered, put on freshly pressed designer jeans and a freshly laundered shirt (Roby’s parents
took great pride in how well their children dressed) and went downstairs to the kitchen.

The Marshall house was located in the Brookside section of Toms River, New Jersey. Brookside
was the neighborhood that people in Toms River moved to when they wanted to show others how
well they were doing. The Marshalls had lived there since 1971. Since then, in addition to their
country club membership, they’d acquired a swimming pool, a time-share in a Florida condo, an
ivory Cadillac, a station wagon, Roby’s yellow Mustang and a new Jeep for his younger brother
Chris, who had (continued)

John, who at thirteen was the youn-

Roby kissed his mother and sat at
the kitchen counter. She handed him a
glass of orange juice. “So let’s go,” he
said. “Where’s Dad?”

He noticed a sudden tenseness in his
mother’s expression. “God knows
where your father is these days,” she
said. Then she turned and walked
quickly from the kitchen. That was un-

nineteen—would be
told they looked like their mothers.
Roby was proud. He had always
thought she was the most beautiful
woman in Toms River.

Roby was six-one and broad-shoul-
dered, and he had been a record-set-
ting swimmer in high school, but in

embarrassed if

his open, slightly babyish face, he did
bear an unmistakable resemblance to

Maria. At forty-two, with striking
blond hair, soft blue eyes, a trim, ath-
letic figure and one of the most exten-
sive—and expensive—wardrobes in
the county, she was a woman always
noticed and often envied. For Roby,
lunch with her would be a treat.

Shortly after noon, Roby’s father got
home—late as always and irritable.
Rob Marshall, at forty-five, was the
same height as his oldest son, with a
hairline that was receding gracefully
above eyes that were as flinty as Ma-
ria’s were soft.

In late afternoon, following lunch at
the club, Maria went upstairs to dress
for the evening. She and Rob were go-
ing to Atlantic City for dinner at the
Meadows, the most expensive restau-
rant in Harrah’s Marina, followed by
an hour or two of blackjack.

The trip to Harrah’s had become a
weekly ritual for the Marshalls. In this
they were no different from most of
their friends. Since the coming of gam-
bling casinos in the late 1970s, Atlan-
tic City had become the hub of Toms
River social life. The casino lifestyle
did not simply fill a recreational void
for the country club set of Toms River:
It became the ultimate status symbol.
To get “comped’—that is, given a free

meal and free tickets to a show—at
Atlantic City gambling casino

something you could brag about
weeks. And no one cared more al
that sort of thing than Rob Marshé

If Maria was not quite so enthr
by the lifestyle, she certainly di
find it objectionable.

When she came downstairs at
o'clock, the smell of her perfume
ceding her, Roby whistled. His m
er’s loveliness was something he
never got used to.

e€ memorial mass was said for Ma-

. It was not a funeral because,
in hours of the murder, Rob had
red her body cremated.

nger is pointed

people remembered most about
memorial service was the recep-
‘back at the house afterward, how
n like a party it seemed. Not that
is a party the boys enjoyed much,
‘Rob himself seemed almost ebul-
', bustling from room to room,
‘ening drinks, urging food upon
guests, saying repeatedly, “Don’t
think Maria would have loved

this? Don’t you think this is just the
way she’d want things done?”

So inappropriate was his apparent
enthusiasm for the event that later
many would say it was this behavior
that first caused them to suspect the
rumors of his involvement in the mur-
der might have some basis in fact.

Certainly by Monday morning the
rumors were everywhere. Rather odd,
actually, to attend a memorial service
for such a well-liked member of the
community, who had been murdered
in such a shocking fashion, and to hear
murmuring throughout the church
(and louder murmuring back at the
house) that the police considered her
husband a suspect.

There was at least one guest at the
reception who was not content to mur-
mur. This was a friend of Maria’s,
Madge Kenyon. Both Roby and Chris,
who were in separate parts of the
house, heard the sound of voices sud-
denly raised. Or at least one voice.

Even though she was standing right
in front of him, Madge Kenyon was
shouting and waving a finger in Rob’s
face. “You'd better not have had any-
thing to do with this!”

ened. The police traced phone calls and
payments Rob had made to three Loui-
siana men with possible ties to orga-
nized crime. Andrew Myers, Ferlin
L’Heureux and Ricky Dew were arrest-
ed for conspiring to murder Maria
Marshall for payment. Ferlin L’Heur-
eux was granted immunity from prose-
cution when he agreed to testify. He
said that although he’d been hired by
Rob Marshall to kill his wife, Ricky
Dew had been the actual shooter.

On December 19, Rob was arrested.
The prosecutor’s office announced it
was seeking the death penalty against
him. The trial started in January with
Judge Manuel H. Greenburg presiding.
The prosecutor was Kevin Kelly. Rob
was represented by Carl Seely.

When L’Heureux testified, he said
that he’d met Rob several times to plan
Maria’s murder. They’d discussed it for
the last time on the morning of Septem-
ber 6, the day of her death.

The night before Rob was to testify,
Roby and Chris spoke on the phone.
Roby said, “I want so badly to believe
him.”

“T just hope Dad can get up there
and tell the truth and make it so obvi-
ous that everybody in the courtroom
will know it.”

“Yeah,” Roby said. “But you know
what worries (continued on page 70)

mares about that.”

By the time Kevin Kelly finished his cross-examina-
tion of Rob Marshall one thing was certain: He had
cured Chris—and almost all others who were present—
of not being able to see the truth. No matter how Rob
told it, his story just didn’t make sense.

After a day of watching what Kelly was doing to his
father, Roby decided not to go to court the next day.
There was too much confusion and pain in his mind.
And so it was only Chris and John who had to sit
through what Kelly did to Rob then.

“Hold up your left hand!” Kelly barked. Rob did it

“Dad, you always told us to tell the
truth,” Roby said. “If you’re telling the
truth, how come it’s me who has to le2”

instinctively, as if, left-handed, he were pledging alle-
giance to the flag.

Kelly walked toward him, pointing at his hand. “Is
that the wedding ring Maria gave you?”

“Yes.”

“Is that ring a reflection of just how much you love
and miss Maria?”

“Yes, it is,” Rob said, still with his hand in the air.

“Then can you explain, sir, why her ashes are still in
a cardboard box in a drawer at the funeral home?”

Rob looked like he’d been slapped in the face. Ever
so slowly, and much too late, he lowered his left hand
until the wedding ring was out of sight.

“It was a decision,” Rob said, “whether we should
bury her in Florida, which was at one point what she
expressed that she wanted to do.”

Chris couldn’t believe it. Not once had he heard a
word about his mother’s ashes being buried in Florida.
He was wishing he could get up and walk out of the
courtroom and never come back, never see his father’s
face again. But he could not do that. He was as
trapped as a fly stuck in amber. From the beginning
he’d promised himself he would offer his father sup-
port until the end. And it wasn’t the end yet.

Then Carl Seely told the two boys who were present
that they would have to testify that afternoon. The
strategy was obvious, if not especially humane. Put the
boys on the stand quickly to win back from the jury
some of the sympathy their father had lost. John was
called first to the stand. He was there only ten minutes.
Chris’s testimony was equally brief and unrevealing.

A lie
That night, when Roby called to ask how badly the day

had gone, Chris barely had words to describe it. There
; a long pause on the line. Then Roby asked, “So

“Don’t even say it,” Chris
said. “I’m still having night-

you don’t think Dad has a chance?”

“Roby,” Chris said, “I don’t think there is a Dad.”

But half an hour later, Roby’s phone rang. Sure,
there was a Dad. It was him on the phone.

“T hear it was a rough day,” Roby said.

“Listen, Roby, you’ve got to testify tomorrow. Your
testimony is vital,’ Rob said. “Just listen to me for a
minute. Son, do you remember that morning? The day
your mother died? The day we had lunch at the club?”

“Yeah, sure. Mom woke me up about eleven and
asked me if I wanted to go with you guys; then she said
we were leaving as soon as you got back.”

“Roby, think carefully. Can’t you remember that I
actually was in the house at that time?”

Roby suddenly felt faint. It was that morning
L'Heureux had said they’d been plotting Maria’s kill-
ing. “Dad,” he said, “ you weren’t there. You were out.”

“Think about it more,’ Rob said. “Maybe you can
remember it a different way. I'll call you back in an hour.”

For an hour Roby lay on his bed. And when the
phone rang at eight o’clock, he answered it.

“Have you given it some thought,
son?”

“Yes, I have, Dad. And you were
not in the house.”

He could hear his father take a
deep breath. Then Rob spoke.
“Would you have trouble saying I
was?”

There it was, what he’d known
was going to come. “Dad,” he said,
“that would be a total lie.”

“I know,” Rob said. “I hate to
have to ask you. But you're the only one who can
discredit L’Heureux’s story. My whole future—my
life—depends on this.”

“Dad, you always told us if we just told the truth
we'd never have anything to worry about:” -—

“Can you help me out?”

“So if you’re telling the truth, how come you have so
much to worry about? /f you’re telling the truth, how
come it’s me who has to lie?”

“You've got to grit your teeth and do it. For me.”

Roby hung up.

And the next day, when he testified, he told the
truth. Robert Marshall was found guilty and sentenced
to death. He is still on death row today.

Mother’s Day

Within days of their father’s conviction, the boys had
gone to the funeral home and had been given their
mother’s ashes. They buried the ashes in a plot at St.
Joseph’s Cemetery.

On Mother’s Day, Roby, Chris and John walked
slowly toward their mother’s grave. They brought
roses, red roses, just three.

When they reached the grave, they knelt together
for many long minutes in silent, tearful prayer.

Then each one placed his rose at the base of the
tombstone, and together, with their arms around one
another, the three sons of Robert and Maria Mar-
shall—two convinced of their father’s guilt, the youn-
gest still clinging to his own belief in innocence—
walked back toward the roadway, squinting a bit as
the sun and the hot breeze dried their tears. ®

the child-care credit for payments to sitters, after-school programs or day-care

child, and up to $4,800 for two or more...

deductions for credit-card interest are still being scaled back.

Interest charges incurred in 1988 are only 40 percent deductible; for 1989, the deduction shrinks to 20

people receiving Social Security payments will now pay an additional tax of $150 to $1,600 to

For your 1989 return. . .

start now to keep important receipts, such as records of charitable contributions

and medical costs. Since health-care costs are still deductible for any family whose expenses add up to more

fees. . . to qualify for a child-care credit in April 1990, you'll have to list all care providers’ names,
addresses and Social Security numbers. Ask the IRS for the new form W-10, which explains the rules.

and antiques have driven many investors to amusing
and affordable items such as toys from the fifties and
sixties, movie memorabilia, quilts and even antique

Before buying a costly item,
have it appraised. Contact the

Finally, Graham advises, you

The best way to reach other

herself. At fifty-five, the author and
Oscar-winning actress, who talks
about her last life in Atlantis the way
most people talk about their last trip
to Florida, has just finished two new
movies, another book, and a medita-
tion video, and she’s planning a series
of self-discovery seminars.

“IT guess I’m also keyed up because I
have so much going on that I’m
pleased with,” she says intently. “I
want to do everything I can to see that
it all succeeds.”

Her latest roles, in last year’s Ma-
dame Sousatzka and the forthcoming
Steel Magnolias, are especially impor-
tant to Shirley: The woman who
played the sexy, lovable gamines of
The Apartment, Sweet Charity and
Irma La Douce has, in midlife, begun
portraying women who are plump, ill-
tempered and not all that pretty.

A weighty role

For the critically acclaimed Sousatzka,
the story of a tyrannical piano teach-
er, Shirley familiarized herself with
the keyboard (“Now
even a bad cocktail
pianist has my re-
spect!”) and unhesi-
tatingly put on
twenty-five pounds.
“As a dancer, I’ve
always enjoyed
working with my
body; fattening up
was quite a differ-
ent experience,” she
says. “I ate pasta,
cheese rolls, toast
smothered in_ but-
ter, paté, wine,
pies, cakes, wonder-
ful cookies drenched
in chocolate—and |

loved every single minute of it!

“It was necessary, though. My b
was just too lithe to play some
who is stodgy and has a hard t

clang together. I had to get Shi
out of the way and let this chara
play herself.”

That kind of airy self-confidence
helped Shirley take on her Steel

gest feeding them smaller
amounts of commercial
diets. The reduced food
intake may not satisfy the
animal's hunger and could
cause a vitamin, mineral or
protein deficiency.

Instead, your pet may
need a low-calorie, high-
fiber diet prescribed by a
veterinarian. With this type
of diet, pets can eat the
same amount of food, con-
sume fewer calories, but
still receive all required
vitamins, minerals, and
other nutrients.

Pets also should be
exercised regularly to
reduce and maintain their
ideal weights. Dogs can be

cats can chase rubber balls
or toys.

“Avoid feeding your
pet home-cooked meals,
table scraps, treats, or
snacks,” advised Dr. Henry
Childers, president of the
American Animal Hospital
Association. “Despite your
best intentions, these hab-
its are the primary reasons
pets overeat.”

If you are unsure if your
pet is overweight, it can be
helpful to consult a veteri-
narian. Together, you can
set a specific weight-loss
goal and schedule. At reg-
ular intervals during the
reduction program, a vet-
erinarian should weigh and
evaluate the ongoing health
of your pet.

Pet obesity test

Check your pet by running
your hands over the pet’s
rib cage:

* Ifthe ribs are easily
felt, your pet is thin or
normal.

* If you can feel fat
between the skin and
ribs, or if the ribs are
difficult to feel, your
pet is overweight.

¢ Ifthe ribs cannot be
felt, your pet is obese.
Call your veterinarian.

Special diets for sick pets

Veterinarians can also
recommend special diets
for animals that are sick.
For example, cats with
urinary bladder disease
may be helped by diets
with reduced levels of
magnesium. With the
proper mix of nutrients,
the diet also can help
restore the proper acid/
alkaline balance in the
cat’s urine and help
reduce mineral crystals
that form in the urinary
tract.

For dogs or cats with
digestion problems or
diarrhea, veterinarians
usually recommend diets
with highly digestible,
non-irritating nutrients
such as specially formu-
lated pet foods. These
foods are easily utilized
by the body, enabling the
digestive system to heal
more rapidly.

Special foods also are
available to treat bladder
stones, kidney disease,
and other conditions. See
your veterinarian for

Change in pet’s health may indicate worms

Does your cat or dog have
any of the following:
weakness, dull coat, weight
loss, coughing, or diarrhea?
If so, your pet could be
infected with worms.

Roundworms

Roundworm egg

At various stages of their
life cycle, roundworms live
in the intestines, organs,
and muscle tissue. In the
intestines, they can grow
up to 6 inches long. One of
the most common internal
parasites in dogs and cats,
roundworms can cause a
dull coat, diarrhea, and
“potbellied” appearance.
Infection in young pets can
be fatal.

Hookworms

Adult hookworm

Tiny, threadlike, and dif-
ficult to see, hookworms
enter a dog or cat through
its mouth or feet. Once
inside, hookworms feed on
blood and tissue by pierc-
ing the intestinal lining
with hook-like teeth. Signs
of these killers include
bloody diarrhea, dark
stools, listlessness, dehy-
dration, and weakness.

Tapeworms

Tapeworm segments
resemble small pieces of
rice and can be seen in the
hair near the animal's tail
or in the feces. If visible,
these segments should be
placed in a small amount
of water and taken toa
veterinarian.

Canine Whipworms
: aime

Whipworm egg

Thick at one end and slen-
der like a whip at the other,
these 3-inch worms can
burrow into a dog’s intes-
tinal lining. Although less
serious than hookworms
or roundworms, whip-
worms can cause poor
general health, weight loss,
blood-speckled diarrhea,
abdominal pain, listless-
ness, and dehydration.

Infection and Treatment
Each of the above worms is
transmitted in a different.
way: either from mother to
the unborn, through the
mother’s milk, from the
feces of an infected animal,
or through a flea or other
“intermediate host.”

To identify these para-
sites, the veterinarian will
need a few fresh stool sam-
ples when your pet is 8, 12,
or 16 weeks old. The sam-
ples should be refrigerated
until tested.

Keeping your yard clean
of animal waste can help
prevent infection.

Most deadly: Heartworms

Adult heartworm

Spread by mosquitoes,
heartworm can cause con-
gestive heart failure and
death in dogs.

As many as 200 adult
heartworms can lodge in
the heart and surrounding
blood vessels, growing
to 14 inches. Signs of
heartworm are difficult
breathing, coughing,
fatigue, listlessness, and
weight loss. Preventive
treatments are available,
but dogs must be tested
first to determine if they
already are infected.

“It is absolutely neces-
sary to test for heartworm
before using any medica-
tion,” said Dr. Gabor Vajda,
chair of the public infor-
mation committee of the
American Animal Hospital
Association. “If the ani-
mal is already infected,
the treatment itself can
cause severe side effects
or death. That's why it’s
much easier to prevent
heartworm than to treat it.”

Annual or bi-annual
screening may be recom-
mended in areas with high
infection rates. But even if
heartworm is not a problem
where you live, it poses a
significant health threat
when dogs are taken to
high-risk parts of the
country. Your veterinarian
can advise you if preventive
medication is necessary
before the trip.

Vaccinations: a shot in the arm for your pet

Almost everyone knows
that pets should be vacci-
nated for rabies. But pup-
pies and kittens also are
vulnerable to many other
life-threatening diseases
that can be prevented by
vaccinations.

Vaccines for dogs

At some point in life, nearly
every dog is exposed to dis-
temper. If not vaccinated,
most animals will die with-
in one to three weeks after
coming in contact with an
infected animal.

Coronavirus, another
potentially fatal infection, is
the second leading cause of
viral diarrhea. Dogs often
become infected with coro-
navirus and parvovirus at
the same time. According
to studies at Cornell Uni-
versity, this combination
can be even more deadly.

Vaccinations also are
available for hepatitis,
which can cause severe
liver damage or death;
parainfluenza, a highly
contagious respiratory
disease; leptospirosis,

Vaccines for cats

More cats than dogs have
become infected with
rabies in recent years,
possibly because of a myth
that only dogs are exposed
to the fatal nervous sys-
tem disease.

Feline leukemia virus is
considered a leading cause
of cat deaths. The virus
decreases the animal's
ability to fight off diseases
and infections.

Fatal to kittens and
dangerous to all cats is pan-
leukopenia, commonly

Also common among
cats are two serious and
contagious respiratory
viruses—rhinotracheitis
and calicivirus. Both dis-
eases are painful and very
serious; rhinotracheitis can
be fatal to young kittens.

The basics of kitten health:

UPDATE

nutrition, veterinary care, exercise

Giving a new kitten the
proper care from the start
can help prevent many
health problems later.
Proper nutrition, vaccina-
tions, dental care, parasite
control, exercise, and reg-
ular veterinary checkups
are all important elements
in a thorough preventive
health program.

In fact, the sooner you
visit the veterinarian with
your new pet, the better-
even on your first trip
home. The veterinarian can
examine the kitten for any
abnormalities or signs of
illness and can explain
how to help your pet stay
healthy.

Nutrition

Feeding your kitten or cat
properly is one of the most
important ways to safe-
guard its health. “In some
cases, providing proper
nutrition can reduce the
Kitten’s risk of some dis-
eases and may lengthen the
cat's life,” said Dr. Marv
Johnson, vice president

of the American Animal
Hospital Association.

It's important to know
your cat's individual nutri-
tional needs. Growing,
active kittens need diets
that are quite different from
those of older cats. Age,

Kittens need special food for
growth and energy.

activity level, health, temp-
erament, environment,

and factors such as preg-
nancy all affect the amounts
and kinds of nutrients the
cat requires.

But with all cats, the
belief that “more is better”
is mistaken. Your cat's diet
should contain enough pro-
tein, fat, carbohydrates,
vitamins, and minerals; but
too much of certain nutri-
ents can be harmful.

For example, scientists
have shown that improper
diets can lead to feline
urologic syndrome, a com-
mon urinary disease and a
leading cause of death in
cats. Experts believe factors
that contribute to the dis-
ease include foods with too
much magnesium and diets
that cause an improper
acid/alkaline balance in the
urine. Excess amounts of
magnesium in many pop-
ular cat foods may have led
to the increased incidence
of this disease.

In addition, kittens need
highly digestible foods
formulated to meet their
high energy needs and pro-
vide the right nutrients for
optimal growth and devel-
opment. This kind of food
should be fed until your
kitten reaches maturity,

On PETS
Relea Es IN

CyvATTROuE

at 9 to 12 months. Your
veterinarian then can rec-
ommend a diet to meet the
nutritional needs of the
adult cat.

Veterinary care

Asa rule, health problems
are easier to prevent than to
treat. That’s why it’s impor-
tant to take your cat toa
veterinarian on a regular
basis.

Veterinarians can vacci-
nate kittens to help prevent
many devastating and
often fatal infectious dis-
eases such as respiratory
viruses, rabies, and feline
leukemia virus. They also
can provide treatment or
preventive medication for
fleas, ticks, lice, and many
types of worms. Also,
dental care can keep your
cat’s teeth clean and help
prevent gum disease, bad
breath, and abscessed or
loose teeth.

Exercise

Regular exercise can help
prevent obesity and
improve your cat’s muscle
development. Many cats
enjoy chasing balls and
playing with toys.

With proper nutrition,
good health care, and lots
of love, your cat can be
your faithful companion
for years to come.

Choosing a veterinarian

SHIRLEY MACLAINE

to step out of her mellow Malibu mode.
“T love my character,” she says. “It let
me tap my irascible side. I don’t have
the courage to be so sarcastic: I’m too
afraid I’d hurt people’s feelings. Ouiser
doesn’t give a damn, and for three
months, when I’d wisecrack or do nas-
ty things off the set, people would say,
‘Oh, she’s just in character.” She
grins. “I got away with murder!”

Clearly relishing the direction her
career has taken, and undisturbed at
the thought of portraying homely
women, Shirley says, “I’m going to
play characters who are misfits or
mildly eccentric, with very sweeping
personalities, maybe sixty or sixty-five
years old. Women who may or may not
have any sexual relationships, who are
confronting something important
about themselves. Producers know
they won’t hurt my feelings now if
they ask me to play those parts.” But
at the same time she acknowledges,
grinning slyly, “I may also decide I
want to be glamorous again.”

For Shirley, the rewards of filming
Steel Magnolias were personal as well
as professional. “There was the joy of
just being with those other actresses,”
she recalls. “It was glorious. Sally had
her baby with her—she’s such an at-
tentive mother!—and Dolly was busy
writing songs, but Olympia, Daryl, Ju-
lia and I hung around together and
had a great time.

“The main thing was, we were all
secure in our parts and with ourselves.
It was a true ensemble piece. We gave
each other little pointers and shared
techniques. There was a very feminine
sensibility running through every-
thing we did.”

Just how, I ask, does Shirley
define “feminine sensibility"? 4
“Democratic. Genuinely
sweet. Women are not com-
petitive when they’re sure of
themselves. Men aren’t like oe

that: Even confident men have
this expansive sense of self, a need
to—dominate is too strong a word,
but certainly to be in control.”

But Shirley resists any attempt 4
to label Magnolias a ““woman’s pic- é
ture.” “When you say that, youre
talking about romantic films. “
This one is entertaining, but it’s
really about how women interact ina
time of tragedy. I look at it as a well-
made film. Period.

“In general, though, I don’t see
much movement in Hollywood to-
ward movies about women,” she
adds. “The leading-lady parts tend to
be vacuous; they’re still defined in
terms of the men they play opposite.

In many cases, stories don’t even need
an end, per se. In real life people don’t
know how things are going to turn out.
I’d like to see more slice-of-life stories
where boy meets girl, boy and gir] fall
in love, but boy and girl don’t neces-
sarily get married.”

Life without a man

Shirley, divorced and the mother of a
twenty-nine-year-old daughter, Steph-
anie Sachiko Parker, known as Sachi,
seems to be following that pattern in
her own life: Her relationships today
are remarkably different from what
they were just a few years ago, when
she went from one stormy romance to
another.

“Tm not seeing any one man,” she
says, “and I’m very content. I have
lots of good friends, and I like that.
You know, when you get to be my age
and you’ve been around the block a
few times with love affairs, deep com-
mitments and live-in relationships,
you realize that you don’t need a man
anymore to ratify your existence. So
why should I have one? I’m really
happy with my freedom and my
friends all over the world. I would
call it a limitation, for me, to be with
just one person right now.”

What about sex?

“IT was never particularly promiscu-
ous; it was one man at a time,” she
says. “Today, there’s not a lot of sex
going on. It isn’t just age but also

AIDS, a concern about

staying alive. But when
\ the sexual pressure is off
between men and wom-
en, it’s really amazing
how much more there
is to love in each other.”

I jokingly ask if that
current lack of sexual

pressure might ex-
plain why she’s so
tense, and Shirley

| her most appealing

that I wasn’t keeping the money, that
it was going to a spiritual center. [Con-
struction of the center, in Colorado,
has been delayed by bureaucratic red
tape.] Some people thought I was be-
ing an opportunist. What crap.”

She shakes her head. “Greed and
power are not in my bag of necessities.
As a matter of fact, power really both-
ers me. I don’t know what to do with it.
That’s one of the reasons I stopped do-
ing the seminars: I was being per-
ceived as a guru, which isn’t what I
want. My whole motivation is to help
others, to get them to go out and form
their own groups and workshops.”

Looking backward, looking ahead

Shirley does eventually want to revive
the higher-self seminars, but as week-
long retreats—a format that she feels
will allow more in-depth work and will
also weed out the people who were com-
ing because “it was the in thing to do.”

Her New Age projects aside, the ac-
tress is going to use another medium
to express some of what she’s learned
about herself and about life: She in-
tends to write (and possibly star in) a
play based on her childhood in Virgin-
ia, where she grew up with her youn-
ger brother, Warren Beatty.

“Doing Steel Magnolias really trig-
gered this new appreciation | have for
my roots and for what my family
meant to me—their richness and hu-
manity,” she says. “I think other peo-
ple will relate to that. In a speeding-
up, deteriorating world, most people
find that family values are more im-
portant than ever.”

As the interview comes to a close, I
ask Shirley if there’s any one lesson
she would like to communicate. Her
reply is unexpected—and typically,
charmingly outlandish.

“The most important thing Ive
learned is that life is like a bottle of
syrup. I used to have a bottle with the
picture of a girl holding a bottle of the
syrup with a picture of her
holding a bottle of syrup, and
so on. We all need to look at
ourselves looking at our-
selves looking at ourselves.
Only when we do that, really
look deep inside, can we learn
what life is about.”

Shirley nods, satisfied
with the metaphor, comfort-
ed just from having talked
about it, and says good-
bye—at long last, utterly
composed. &

HOW TO MAKE

EIGHTIES

Your children flip on the TV over

TV GOOD
FOR YOUR KIDS ie cena

mornings, they spend hours watching cartoons and reruns of old movies. But
short of throwing out the television set, what's a parent to do?

et’s face it, we can’t prevent our children
iE from watching TV altogether. Even the

experts admit that television in and of itself . —&
is not necessarily bad. “The major problem is that
kids watch too much of it,” says Peggy Charren,
president of Action for Children’s Television, a
nonprofit organization in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, working for better children’s
programming. “The average child is in front of the
TV set three and a half hours a day.”

This much passive viewing is unhealthy for our children’s bodies as well as their
minds. According to a study by William Dietz, M.D., assistant professor of
pediatrics at Tufts University School of Medicine, in Boston, the more hours a child
watches TV, the more likely he is to be overweight.

To protect kids from the negative consequences of TV, parents
need to control the quality and quantity of TV programs. The first
step, Charren says, is to become TV savvy. “Watch the shows your
children watch,” she advises. “If you think a program is
inappropriate, you have to learn to tell your kids no.” Finally—and
this is most important of all—sit down with the TV listings and select
quality programs for your children.

Of course, finding quality TV for kids isn’t always easy. One of the
best places to start, however, is public television. This spring, a
highly recommended series on PBS is Long Ago and Far Away,

STORY

Spiked badge of courage
BY JUDITH A. REIMER

t’s Monday morning, and I look in
on my sleeping six-foot, seventeen-
year-old son just before his alarm
goes off, knowing these are the last
few tranquil moments he will have today.
He has the pillow over his head. . . even
in sleep he can’t escape his folly; last
Saturday he got a Mohawk haircut.

Saturday night was the swim team’s
final meet. Practicing long hours before
their school day began, he and the three
other boys on the relay team had formed
one of those special bonds.

I don’t know who first thought of the
haircut, but it soon became the symbol of
their dream. For weeks the rallying cry
among the four was *‘If we maké region-
als, we're all getting
Mohawks.”’ Since that
was a long shot at best,
even the coach had said,
““You guys make it to
state, and /’// get a Mo-
hawk.’’ (*‘He even
shook on it,’? my son
confided glumly.)
as the weeks
passed, the unbelievable
happenéd: The team made it to the finals.
The gauntlet was down.

As my husband and | walked into the
packed pool area that night, I saw my
son and his haircut for the first ttme. And
I felt as if I'd been punched in the stom-
ach. Head held high, glistening scalp ac-
centuating the dark center mane of hair,
Chris was walking across the pool’s cen-
ter catwalk with a haughty smile that paid
homage to the originators of the style; he
would have been great in a movie. But
he was also one of those weird-looking
kids who would disgust me if I saw him
walking down the street. (continued)

(continued) Ours is a conservative Texas
city. As my son and his similarly shorn
teammates walked across the pool area,
practicing swimmers from other schools
stopped in mid-lap. Parents gasped audi-
bly. ‘‘He has a 90 G.P.A.,”’ I wanted to
shout. ‘“‘He’s a Boy Scout!’ Then my
son saw me. ‘Guys, where’s my hat?
There’s my mom,” he called to his team-
mates. I must have looked pretty bad,
because he gave me a big hug, something
teens rarely do in public, and asked,
‘‘Mom, are you all right?”’

I’d love to report that my son’s team
soared to the

onships. They
didn’t even
come close. As

old daughter

embarrassment. Now it is Monday, and
I’m beginning to realize a little bit of
what the days ahead will bring.

My son expects to be called into the
principal’s office. Some kids at school will
ridicule him, maybe even rough him up.
(He has chosen dress slacks and shirt
instead of his usual jeans in some obscure
attempt to compensate.) But the bonds are
strong: the new one forged
with his teammates. that
will live in his memory for
a lifetime, and the old one
with the family that taught
him to have the courage of
his convictions.

In fact, my sense of hu-
mor has returned. I’m get-
ting Chris a T-shirt that
says ‘“‘Everybody should
do something completely
outrageous once in his lifetime.’’ And I’m
getting me one that says, “‘Judge not, lesta

find I’m proud of my son.

BY LAWRENCE BALTER. PH.D.

| went to the hospital for an emergericy operation when my daughter was
two. That was six months ago, and she still has a terrible time whenever |
leave her, even for a few hours—she’s terrified | won't come back and just
sobs and sobs. What can I do?

nfortunately, you had to go to the hospital at a time when

your daughter was in a particularly clingy phase. In addition,

because of her age, she could not fully comprehend the

situation. The organized and dependable world you worked

so diligently to construct for her came tumbling down.

Another thing to keep in mind is that in a crisis situation

such as yours, the family is consumed by many other concerns that add to
everyone's anxieties. This confusion contributes to the general upset and
fears that a young child feels.

Because you left in an emergency, there was not time to prepare her
adequately for the separation. Under more ideal circumstances, the child
could be invited to visit the hospital prior to your admission to familiarize
herself with your future whereabouts. She could also be given some advance
indication of the length of your stay. The more a child knows, within limits,
of course, the better able she is to cope with her worries.

Sometimes parents make the mistake of not talking about potentially
upsetting topics, thinking that keeping them under
wraps will make them less troublesome. In your case,
since you've noticed that your child seems to be afraid
when you go out without her, you might say: “Maybe
you didn’t think | was ever going to come back, and
that must have scared you.” Point out, too, that
perhaps she felt angry as well as scared.

Encourage her to talk about her fears if she can.
Some very verbal two-and-a-half-year-olds can
articulate their fears. Reassure her that you will not
be going away unannounced again—no more
surprises where that is concerned.

Repeated but brief separations can help a child understand that you
always return to her. Set up an outing and matter-of-factly tell her you are
not going to the hospital today. Tell her where you will be, when you will be
back and that you will be okay—nothing is going to happen to you. When
you return, say, ‘See, everything is fine. | came home just like | said.”

ids used to think money
grew on trees. Nowadays
they know better: Money
comes out of cash
machines. So how, in an
age of instant
gratification and expensive toys,
are you supposed to teach your
kids the value of a dollar?

In a way, money education is
like sex education. It takes place
very gradually, over a period of
years. As soon as your child
begins asking questions about
money, be ready to provide
honest answers—tailored to
what he or she can understand.

For real-life answers to tricky
money questions, we consulted
Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D.,
professor of psychology at
Temple University; Martin E.
Ford, Ph.D., a developmental
psychologist at Stanford
University, and Linda Barbanel,
M.S.W., a New York City
psychotherapist who writes
and lectures on children
and money.

At what age should | start to give my
child an allowance?

As soon as you want to start teaching
him some object lessons about money,
responsibility and making choices. Kids
are typically ready for an allowance at
six or seven, when they can grasp the
idea that money spent is really gone.

Should an allowance be considered pay-
ment for work done around the house?
No. Children should be expected to do
their chores because they are members
of the family. An allowance is an
educational experience about
managing one’s living
expenses. But it makes
sense to pay your child
for doing some out-
of-the-ordinary job
that you might

hire someone to do.

Should | withhold my
child’s allowance if i :
she gets poor grades?

No. Nor should you use money as a
reward when your child brings home a
great report card. School is school and
money is money. According to some
studies, kids’ grades actually go down
when parents pay for them.

What do | tell my four-

year-old when she com-

plains that her seven-year-
old brother gets an allow-
ance but she doesn’t?

That age has its privi-
leges as well as its
responsibilities. Re-

mind her that
your older child
does many things
she cannot. And re-
assure her that an al-
lowance is not a gift that
he is getting and she is be-
ing cheated out of.

while a teenage boy might use his allow-

What should | do if my child uses his
allowance to buy junk?

Grin and bear it. Once you've set the
guidelines, the allowance is his to squan-
der or to save. If you make ail/ the
decisions, what's the point of his having
it? Parents need to keep the allow in
allowance.

If my child’s bike is stolen or she breaks
something valuable at someone's
house, should she pay out

of her allowance?
Not the first time it
happens. _ Every-
body makes
mistakes, and you
and she can figure
out a plan to repair
the damage. If careless-
nessis a pattern, however,
then she'll benefit from paying for her

own mistakes.

If my child spends his money before the
week is out, should | give him an ad-
vance on next week’s allowance?

Generally speaking, no. Running out of
money once or twice and suffering the
consequences is part of the learning ex-
perience. —DAVA SOBEL

then Myra saw something that

made her exclaim softly at the expect-
edness, the aptness of it. Shirley had
slipped a little pair of scissors from a
pocket and was cutting a rose on a
long stem. She did not even glance
around to see who had noticed her—
and others besides Myra had; but her
buttocks and back had a characteristic
sullen defiance about them. Well, you
haven’t changed, Myra silently ad-
dressed Shirley. Then she thought, But

rage—and thought how common she
looked. The rain splashed all around
Myra while she tried to think of some-
thing to say, but then Shirley
squelched back out of the garden and
slammed out of the house.

Myra had not bothered to get in
touch after that. The truth was, she
was glad of the excuse not to see her.
She liked Lynda, her other (her real!)
daughter. Since she was born, Shirley
had been nothing but trouble. Nothing
done for her was ever right, nothing
she did succeeded. At school she was
clever but lazy and did not like her
teachers. She left, without exams. She
got one job after another, but nothing
was good enough. At nineteen she
married a man that Myra liked, a
kindly soul Myra knew her daughter
would eat up. (“She'll have him for
supper the first night!”) Shirley left
this man and married again, a real
toughie who prided himself on giving
as good as he got. He was a builder’s
merchant, made money, took Shirley
for holidays to Spain, bought her
clothes. Myra believed her daughter
well matched and well satisfied. Then,
one day, on a remorseful impulse, she
drove across London to visit her. No
answer from the front door, so she
went to the back and there, through

kitchen, saw Shirley having it off with
some man certainly not her husband,
who lifted his face, saw her and let out
a yell. Up came Shirley’s face, red and
sweaty, and then the two let out
shouts of laughter, and Shirley jumped
naked off the table and screamed that
her mother was spying on her. Myra
had gone off home, told no one, not
even her husband, had done nothing.
Then Shirley arrived in her garden a
few days later to quarrel.

he did not want to see Shirley

now, but she continued to follow

her, making sure there were peo-
ple between them on the path. Shirley
not only hated plants and gardens, but
the country as well, where she sulked
till she could get back into town. She
claimed she loathed Nature except
(wink, wink) for a little of what you
fancy, said she thought people who
gardened were stupid and boring. Yet
here she was.

Just before the round rose garden
that was framed in its garlands, Shir-
ley turned off left and stood brooding
in front of a rose Myra herself rather
fancied. It was called “L’Oreal Tro-
phy.” A tall rose and “luxurious in

habit” as the growers would certainly
describe it, the blooms were all shades
of creamy pink to apricot—rose pink
and pink-flame and dusty pink—no
end to the sunset colors you could see
there, and the buds were perfect, apri-
cot, tightly furled. The flowers had a
luminous shimmer, as if they made
their own light. By this time next year
the plant would be in Myra’s garden.
And in Shirley’s?

Myra went up into the round garden
and sat on a bench where she could see
the entrance. Soon Shirley came in,
and Myra’s heart hurt at the sight of
that face, every bit as discontent as
she had expected. But now it was sad,
too... For the thousandth time she
wondered, as parents do, at the differ-
ence in children. Born different! Dif-
ferent from the first breath. Lynda, the
elder daughter, was always, from the
moment she emerged, a pleasant soul
who had grown up giving no one any
trouble, had gone easily to school do-
ing neither well nor badly, had had
likable boyfriends and married the
best of them, and now lived the same
kind of life her mother did, with two
children, a boy and girl. When the two
women were together, Myra and Lyn-
da—ample, slow, calm-eyed—people
knew at once they were mother and
daughter, but no one had ever at once

he made a dozen movies in as many years, but
Melanie Griffith’s stock didn’t soar until she
became a **Working Girl.”’ Playing Tess McGill,
the eager Wall Street secretary who breaks into the
executive ranks, Griffith has enchanted both film
critics and fans. With her flaky charm and breathy little-
girl voice, her lip-biting vulnerability and bright-eyed
determination, she makes this corporate comedy hum.
While reviewers have lavished praise on the thirty-
one-year-old actress, gossip columnists have been sali-
vating over her private life. What could be juicier than
her romantic reunion with heartthrob Don Johnson?
Divorced twelve years ago after just a few months of
marriage, the couple got together again last August—
shortly after he and Barbra Streisand came unglued.
Now Melanie is sporting a diamond the size of a
macadamia nut, and the two have said they'll remarry
sometime soon. “I really
love him,” she sighs,

By Cathleen in Working Girl, di-

rected by Mike Nichols,
McGuigan Melanie, as Tess, chugs
past the Statue of Liberty
on a_ ferryboat each
morning on her way to the financial district from
unfashionable Staten Island. But the lady of the harbor is
no beacon of equal opportunity. Despite Tess’s toil—she
takes speech lessons to get rid of her New York whine
and goes to night school—she still finds herself in such
demeaning positions as kneeling on the office floor to
buckle up her boss’s new ski boots. And when the
ambitious Tess comes up with a brilliant merger-and-
acquisitions idea, she can’t run it on the fast track unless
she reinvents herself and masquerades as an executive.
Griffith herself is no stranger to stereotyping. With an
image in Hollywood as a good-time girl and on-screen
sexpot, she had to fight to play Tess. ** Yes, just a little,”
says the actress with an ironic laugh. Even with director
Nichols in her comer, studio executives insisted she take
a screen test—and wound up billing her after Harrison
Ford and Sigourney Weaver, even though, as the lead
character, Griffith appears in nearly every scene.
‘Tess correlated a lot with me,’’ she says, stubbing
out her umpteenth cigarette. (continued on page 110)

(continued from page 106) ‘*Like finally saying,
‘Okay, I’m going to do this part because I know |
can.’ That’s what Tess did, and that’s what I feel
I’ve done, against everybody saying, ‘Oh, you’re
just a sexpot.’ Or ‘You’re a problem, you drink
too much, you do drugs,” or ‘You’re wild.’ ”’

As she freely admits, Melanie has done all those
things during a life that has more plot twists
than a soap opera. The daughter of actress Tippi Hedren,
the blond ice queen of Alfred Hitchcock’s classics The
Birds and Marnie, Griffith grew up around cameras (her
first show-biz appearance was in an Ivory Snow com-
mercial) and on a ranch where her mother raised jungle
animals (her pet pussycat was a leopard named Buster).

When she was a sophisticated fourteen, she met
Johnson, then twenty-two, who was co-starring with her
mom in The Harrad Experiment. She moved in with
him, and four years later they wed. Johnson encouraged
her to accept a role in the film Night Moves, which
starred Gene Hackman. In that 1975 detective thriller,
Griffith made her screen debut as a neurotic nymphet and
showed an amazing natural ease before the camera. She
had never particularly wanted to be an actress, she says.
‘*But I got hooked the minute I made my first movie.’

She appeared in a string of mostly forgettable films in
the late seventies, and
hopes of stardom dimmed.
Offscreen she liked to par-
ty. “‘I guess because of
growing up in the seven-
ties, real life wasn’t good
enough,”’ she says with a
sigh. ‘“‘You had to take
something or do something
to enhance it.”’

Professionally, her luck
began to change when Bri-
an De Palma cast her in the
1984 thriller Body Double
as Holly Body, a coolhead-

“Having kids is
the best,” says
Melanie, with

ed porn-movie queen. Critics
singled her out for praise, and
the performance led to the
lead in Jonathan Demme’s
1986 romp, Something Wild.
She played Lulu, a bewitch-
ing chameleon who was
naughty but nice.

Though her acting career began to take off, Griffith’s
private demons raged. Last spring, she went through
rehabilitation for alcoholism at the Hazelden Foundation,
in Minnesota. ‘‘It changed my life,’’ she says. ‘‘I’m still
battling the devil over here on my shoulder, but if I go
one day at a time, I can do it.”’

True, she’s gone straight before, only to slip, but this
time, she insists, the reformation is permanent. *‘Noth-
ing works if I drink,”’ she says. “‘It’s a battle, and you lie
and you deceive yourself and other people. All that’s
gone away. There’s no more of that in my life, and |
struggle to be honest.’’ What she wants now, she says, is
a normal life. ‘‘To be an actor you have to have a life,”’

Twelve years after their split,
Melanie and Don are together
again. She was a precocious

Alexander have been living with Johnson in Miami,

headache won’t kill you, these little ailments can certainly
be a pain. Now, however, there’s more hope for help.
Medical researchers focusing on routine disorders are
finding twists on old treatments and in some
cases coming up with entirely fresh
approaches. The moral of the story: Even if you
consider your complaint too minor to mention,
discuss it with your doctor. You never know
what improvements she may
have to offer. Below, a look at
the conventional treatments—

ALLERGIES

Conventional treatments

Between 10 and 20 percent of all Ameri-
cans will suffer the wheezing, itching
and sneezing of allergies at some point
in their lives. And until recently, treat-
ment options were limited.

Conventional allergy therapies include
antihistamines, decongestants and shots.
Antihistamines usually stop an allergy
attack; unfortunately, they may also
cause drowsiness. And while deconges-
tants aren’t soporific, they aren’t as effec-
tive as antihistamines, says Robert Zier-
ing, M.D., an allergist in Vista, Califor-
nia. Decongestants can also increase
blood pressure and heart rate.

The third option—allergy shots—in-
volves injecting the (continued)

patient with extracts of allergens (sub-
stances that cause allergic reactions).
As the patient becomes desensitized to
the allergens, symptoms ease. But al-
lergy shots are time-consuming and
expensive: It takes about fifty weekly
shots to produce noticeable results,
and the cost ranges from $300 to $500
the first year.

New advances

A nonsedating antihistamine, terfena-
dine (brand name Seldane), clears up
symptoms without causing drowsiness.
However, terfenadine, available by
prescription only, is much more expen-
sive than over-the-counter allergy
remedies (nearly $55 per one hundred
tablets, compared with $20 for the
same amount of most nonprescription
remedies).

Although terfenadine is the only
nonsedating antihistamine currently
on the market, two additional pre-
scription drugs are due out this spring:
astemizole (brand name Hismanal)
and loratadine (brand name Claritin).
These drugs aren’t as powerful as stan-
dard antihistamines, but none of them
will make you sleepy, says Jean Mar-

coux, M.D., an allergist in Houston.

Another relatively new option is
prescription nasal spray, which offers
allergy relief with few side effects.
Several types are available, including
cromolyn sodium (brand name Nalsa-
crom) and topical steroid sprays. (The
body absorbs such a tiny amount that
steroid spray doesn’t expose users to
such usual steroid side effects as osteo-
porosis and hypertension.)

On the horizon: a new drug, called
Pentigetide, which can prevent an al-
lergic reaction. Scientists don’t yet
know exactly how Pentigetide works,
and they are still testing it. If all goes
well, the Food and Drug Administra-
tion (FDA) will probably approve Pen-
tigetide sometime in the near future.

HEADACHES

Conventional treatments

Thirty million to forty million Ameri-
cans suffer from some kind of head-
ache pain. Twelve million to fifteen
million have migraines—throbbing
headaches marked by intense pain and
sensitivity to light that tend to occur
only on one side of the head. Until
recently, doctors had little to offer be-
yond the standard advice to take two
aspirin or, for migraines, potentially

ACHACHES

ventional treatments

ions of Americans are plagued by
ach pain. Yet until recently,

standin are developing a clearer

many physicians believed their pa-
tients’ problems stemmed from over-
eating or hypochondria. They offered
little more help than admonitions to
calm down, relax and eat properly.

New advances

This superficial approach to stomach
pain is finally giving way to more so-
phisticated theories. Recent research
points to intriguing connections be-
tween stress, brain chemicals and
stomach symptoms.

Reducing stress may actually re-
verse chemical imbalances and get
rid of symptoms, explains Martin
Hassner, director of the American Di-
gestive Disease Society, in Bethesda,
Maryland. He adds that tension-reduc-
tion techniques (including biofeedback
and relaxation exercises) are now used
to help treat stomach pains caused by
such common triggers as gas, constipa-
tion and indigestion. Other treatments
are targeted to specific causes of pain.
Here are several of the most common
conditions and the latest therapies:
Gastritis: This generic term, which de-
scribes a range of disorders from in-
flammation of the stomach to indiges-
tion, plagues some sixty million Amer-
icans. There’s now a known cause and
cure for some cases. Researchers have

recently discovered that a species of
bacteria called Campylobacter pylori
can live in the stomach, where it may
cause unpleasant symptoms such as
discomfort after meals, nausea and
varying degrees of pain. “This type of
bacteria is much more common than
we ever realized,” says Theodore Bay-
less, M.D., clinical director of the
Meyerhoff Digestive Disease Center at
Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore.
A combination of Pepto-Bismol and
antibiotics has been found to suppress
Campylobacter and relieve discomfort.
Ulcers: About four million Americans
suffer from ulcers—sores in the lining
of the stomach or part of the small
intestine. Although the exact cause of
ulcers is still not known, doctors now
realize that ulcers are not more com-
mon among people who are highly
stressed, as had long been believed.
Genetics, however, does seem to play a
role. Researchers are also looking into
the possibility that Campylobacter
causes some ulcers. If this proves to be
true, doctors may be able to treat some
patients with antibiotics and Pepto-
Bismol.

Conventional ulcer treatment—suc-
cessful in many cases—involves drugs
called histamine blockers, which slow
stomach acid production. These in-
clude cimetidine (brand (continued)

name Tagamet) and ranitidine hydro-
chloride (brand name Zantac).

The newest ulcer treatment—for
people who aren’t helped by conven-
tional therapy—is a powerful drug
called omeprazole (brand name Lo-
sec). However, omeprazole is so strong,
it virtually halts the production of
stomach acid, which may increase the
risk of other disorders. Since scientists
don’t fully understand the possible
long-term risks of shutting down stom-
ach-acid secretion, they are concerned
about potential unknown complica-
tions in patients who use this drug.
Still, the FDA is expected to ap-
prove omeprazole for the treatment of
severe ulcers within the next year,
says Douglas Drossman, M.D., asso-
ciate professor of medicine and psychi-
atry at the University of North Caroli-
na at Chapel Hill.

Finally, a bland diet is no longer de
rigueur for ulcer patients since doctors
have discovered that certain foods
don’t disagree with everyone. But it
may be wise to cut down on foods that
stimulate acid production (caffeine,
spicy foods). And all ulcer sufferers
should avoid the time-honored remedy,
milk. Doctors now believe it boosts

rather than reduces stomach acid pro-
duction.

Gallstones: Some twenty million
Americans have gallstones—hard, sol-
id accumulations of bile pigments and
calcium salts that can cause pain, in-
flammation and other problems.
Though surgery is needed to remove
some stones, the FDA recently ap-
proved ursodiol (brand name Actigall),
a medicine that dissolves cholesterol-
containing gallstones. Researchers are
also testing a procedure called litho-
tripsy, in which doctors aim sound
waves at the gallbladder while the pa-
tient is immersed in water. Resulting
vibrations break up the stones. (This
inpatient procedure has already been
deemed a success in the treatment of
kidney stones.)

Finally, doctors may one day be able
to banish gallstones by inserting a tiny
tube through the skin to pump stone-
dissolving medication directly into the
gallbladder. This procedure is now be-
ing tested.

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT
SYNDROME (TMJ)

Conventional treatments

Some eight million to twenty million
Americans have TMJ syndrome: prob-

scans (computerized axial tomography)
and magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), which create a picture of both
bone and soft tissue. These techniques
are an important advance over previ-
ous imaging techniques such as X-
rays, says Kevin McBride, D.D.S., an
oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Dal-
las. Reason: Ordinary X-rays show
only bone, and before the development
of MRI, doctors had to inject dye into
the jaw to view soft tissue. In some
cases, doctors feed the visual informa-
tion from an MRI or CAT scan into a
computer, and a moving, three-dimen-
sional picture of the jaw in motion is
created by showing a series of still im-

cal procedure. With arthroscopy—
which is becoming increasingly com-
mon—a very small incision is made
above the jaw, and a telescopelike de-
vice is inserted through it. This en-
ables surgeons to look closely at the
jaw, explains Bruce Sanders, D.D.S.,
an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in
Santa Monica, California. Often, doc-
tors can actually treat the problem
through the small incision using mi-
croscopic tools. If the area is inflamed,
they can also place medication directly
on the problem area. This reduces
swelling, scarring, and the chances of
infection and bleeding, and it allows
for jaw movement almost immediately
after surgery.

Some patients may benefit from a
total joint replacement. In this new
procedure, the defective joint is re-
placed with one made of metal and
plastic. At present, though, only a few
doctors in the U.S. are qualified to per-
form joint replacement.

Finally, TMJ syndrome sufferers
can now be treated at pain-manage-
ment centers. In these centers, as in
headache clinics, experts from several
specialties work to help a patient get
pain under control. “People really
want to know that there is a physical
basis for this pain,” says Barry Cooper,
D.D.S., director of the Facial Pain

Clinic at the New York Eye and }
Infirmary in Manhattan. “And tha
can be effectively treated.” |

furniture. You, too, can answer
the call of the wild—without
Sacrificing the comforts of home

oday’s safaris are truly geared to the demanding
traveler who wants the adventure of old coupled
with the best accommodations. Most safaris are
complete packages—meals and airfare includ-
ed—which takes away all the worry about visit-
ing a strange land.

| took just such a dream trip recently to
Kenya, the quintessential safari country, with its
fabled game preserves and dramatic landscape—snowcapped
mountains, dusty plains and exquisite beaches. The trip was
well organized by Mi-
cato Safaris.

We made the grand
safari circuit, taking van
and plane hops to a

number of the great
game parks and spend-
ing nights in beautifully
appointed lodges. The
and late-afternoon game
runs—the best times for viewing animals since they sleep
during the heat of the day. Midday was for sumptuous buffet
lunches, napping in comfortable beds safely tented by mosqui-
to netting, or lounging by the pool, trading stories of thieving
monkeys and charging rhinos.

Our first stop was Amboseli National Park, which lies in the
shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro. It is home to many elephants, now
greatly endangered in Kenya.

A couple of short plane hops away is the Masai Mara, the
best park in Kenya for animal viewing. There we stayed at the
deluxe Fig Tree camp. A highlight here was a dawn balloon

safari over the Mara, watching zebra, giraffe and antelope
gracefully leap across the plains. After an hour's ride, we
landed to find a champagne toast and a full breakfast.

We found Mountain Lodge, in the north, a welcome respite
for the van-weary. Built on stilts next to a salt lick and
watering hole, the lodge provides each guest room with a
terrace for animal viewing, as well as wake-up calls for
nighttime sightings. You can relax on the rooftop patio with
its grand views of Mount Kenya.

Wandering the grounds of the Mt. Kenya Safari Club, in
Nanyuki, is a perfect antidote to safari burnout. At this
exclusive retreat, founded by William Holden, you can golf,
swim, ride horseback, visit the animal orphanage or unwind at
the Zebra Bar before dinner, which is a jacket-and-tie affair.

Before leaving for home from Nairobi, we visited Isak
Dinesen’s house, in the nearby suburb called Karen (after the
author’s real name, Karen Blixen). The house was used as the
set for the movie Out of Africa.

Planning a safari It's best for first-time safari goers to use a
tour company, especially during peak season, when park
lodges and city hotels are booked solid. Your tour operator
can also help you with visas and inoculation requirements.

When to go The dry season (January through March and July
through September) is best for animal viewing, since animals
tend to congregate near watering holes and are easy to find.

Ever try walking the streets of
Venice in July? You're sure to
hqve found yourself jostled by
hordes of fellow tourists. Why
not try getting off the usual
Rome-Venice-Florence circuit?

Emilia Romagna, lush and
well-to-do, is made up a string
of small cities built along the
ancient Roman Emilian Way, just
south of Venice and Milan. Ev-
erywhere you go in this fertile
region, you find unexpected treasures: medieval towers
and the mansions of noblemen, sleepy towns lined
with cobblestone streets and tempting cafés. The food
is marvelous: Tagliatelle, tortellini and ravioli originat-
ed in the area, along with the
native wine, lambrusco. (And Par-
ma, in the heart of the region, is »
the home of that savory staple of
Italian cooks everywhere, Parme-
san cheese.)

is Bologna, which dates back to |

VICTORIA

ust a century ago, Victorian homes contained rooms overflowing
with furniture, and fanciful flourishes such as tassels and fringe
embellished everything from Chesterfield chairs and couches to
draperies. The lush style of this bygone era has been especially

popular the last few years.
Now designers are taking the Victorian revival a step further. The

newest interpretation retains the elegant romance but is brighter and
fresher. So, if you've always admired Victorian design but didn’t want all

dark walls and heavy furniture, the
updated version offers many options. The
most obvious change? Color. Deep reds,
crimson and greens of the past have been
replaced by bright reds and rust accented
with bleached pine woods, and painted
checkerboard floors and shutters.

But the revival is more than simply a
lighter palette, as designers give new
function to some of the old elements.
Fringes adorn pillows, not upholstery;
mixed patterns are more linear, scaled-
down, not large florals; draperies hang
straight from a brass rod, not held with
tassels; a classical bust sits atop a pale wood
stand, not a carved mahogany pedestal.

Perhaps the best feature of luxurious
updated Victoriana, as with the old style,
is the emphasis on eclectic accessories,
which allows for personal expression—
displaying favorite pieces together
regardless of an item's period or style.

CATCHING SOME (SAFE) RAYS

Retin-A makes it easy to fool Mother Nature.

Here's how to get the most from this miracle
cream, plus tips for super skin protection

Although it’s best for everyone to use a sunscreen (or avoid the sun altogether),
protection from the sun is particularly important for Retin-A users, and not just in
the summer. Since the medication causes the skin’s outer layer (its first defense
against the sun) to fall away, skin is even more vulnerable to buming. These three

types of sunscreens are best bets.

a users manual

n the past year or so, Retin-A has been making headlines because of its ability to erase facial lines
and wrinkles resulting from years of exposure to the sun. In fact, this new role for Retin-A has
practically eclipsed its original role as an acne medication.

But using the medication, which causes the outer layers of the skin to peel away, is not without
its problems. If used improperly, Retin-A can cause redness, itching and excessive peeling. Now that
doctors have had the chance to observe the effects of Retin-A, they've learned that you can prevent
the worst side effects by introducing the medication gradually. Ellen Gendler, M.D., clinical assistant

professor of dermatology at New York
University and board member of the Oil of Olay
Skin Care Center, in Shelton, Connecticut, offers
these guidelines. (You: must be under

a doctor’s supervision; Retin-A is available only
by prescription.)

THE BIG BUILDUP

Hl Use a diluted formula or a low concentration
cream at first. After three months, if you've
experienced only minimal irritation (which is to
be expected), your doctor may switch you to a
higher concentration. New: Ortho
Pharmaceuticals, the originators of Retin-A,
recently introduced .025% Retin-A cream, the
mildest available to date. This formula may
produce the same therapeutic results as .05%
cream (previously the lowest concentration) with
fewer side effects.

i Start with infrequent applications. When you
begin using Retin-A, apply it only every third
night. When skin can take it, use every other
night. After a year of use, light applications two
to three times per week should suffice.

CLEANSING CLUES

dos...

Wl Before applying Retin-A, cleanse face with a
mild soap and wait twenty minutes to reduce
chance that Retin-A will irritate open pores.

WH Use a moisturizer after applying Retin-A. (Try
Oil of Olay Sensitive Skin Beauty Fluid.)

... and don'ts

Wi Avoid astringents, exfoliants and masques,
as these may aggravate dryness and irritation.
i If you are having a facial or waxing done on
sensitive areas such as eyebrows or the upper
lip, be sure to say that you are using Retin-A.

back. If they haven't, they still won't go back to face what they
perceive to be the same hornble situation.”

In one case from Pankau’s files, a Dallas housewife, the
mother of four children, fled last year, overwhelmed by her
husband's financial troubles and the stress of family life. The
investigator found her, living alone on a houseboat, in a
California coastal town. “She left a lifestyle with a very
demanding calendar,” he says, “for a life that was carefree.”

Into thin air

n some disappearances, however, there seems to be no

reason that a woman would want to vanish voluntarily,

and yet there is no evidence of foul play. Take the case of

Julie Love, who disappeared on July 11, 1988, at a time
when the twenty-seven-year-old Atlanta resident had every-
thing to look forward to: Her boyfriend of three years had
finally begun talking with her about marriage, and the pre-
schoolers’ aerobics program she had started was thriving. On
the day she vanished, Julie talked cheerfully on the phone with
her friends and went to a career-counseling meeting in the
evening, leaving the gathering about nine-thirty P.M. That was
the last time anyone saw her. The next day, her red Mustang,
locked and out of gas, was found parked on a street in a
neighborhood of $500,000 homes. There were no signs of a
struggle. But the area was not along the usual route Julie would
have taken on her way home from the meeting.

Her frantic relatives and boyfriend blanketed the city with
hundreds of thousands of posters and fliers, and Julie’s picture
was displayed on twenty outdoor billboards. Meanwhile, the
police launched one of the most intensive missing-persons
investigations in Atlanta’s history. All efforts led to nothing,
however, and puzzled detectives theorized that Julie may have
been accosted by a passing motorist after she ran out of gas.
But if that did happen, and Julie was killed, it is odd that her
body has never been found. “The case is really bizarre,” says
Neta Weston, a special agent of the Georgia Bureau of

Investigation. “There was absolutely nothing there

at what we’d call the crime scene. No

one ever used her credit
cards, and it’s pretty

years, Kathleen

typical for a perpe-
trator to leave some
kind of paper trail.”

At the same time,
Weston says, it is diffi-
cult to imagine that Ju-
lie would disappear
deliberately. “She had
plenty of friends and a
good relationship with her family.”

Julie's father, Jerry Love, has agonized endlessly over what
might have happened to his daughter. He recalls one investi-
gator telling him, “Just don’t make any assumptions, because
you'd drive yourself crazy.” Mark Kaplan, Julie's boyfriend,
adds, “There’s so much we don’t know.” Today, Mark's
answering machine still has a hopeful message: “If you have
any information about Julie Love, please leave your name and
number.” But, detectives are forced to admit they are getting
nowhere. “She led a pretty normal life,” Weston says. “And
then one day she’s just not there anymore. It's like she stepped
out of that car and into a big hole.”

A violent death?

f course, there are many women who do not disappear

of their own accord. All too often, women who are

believed to be missing persons are actually the victims of

violence. They are not classified as murder victims,
because no corpse has been found, and therefore police have
no proof that a crime has been committed. In one exceptional-
ly horrible incident, a Michigan woman who had been missing
for three years was found by her daughter early this year in the
family’s basement freezer; the woman's husband was charged
in her killing. But solutions in such cases are relatively rare;
more offen, they drag on for years, eventually becoming just
another dusty file in a detective’s desk.

An example: the disappearance of Kathleen Durst, a bright,
attractive medical student who was married to the son of one
of New York City’s most successful realtors. Kathleen, twenty-
eight, vanished on January 31, 1982; her husband, Robert, told
police he had last seen her as she boarded a train to return
from the couple’s country home to their Manhattan apartment.
Durst, vice-president of the Durst Organization, a large real-
estate company, posted a $100,000 reward for his wife's
return. But the police were not optimistic about finding Kath-
leen alive. “We presume Mrs. Durst met with foul play,” says Lt.
Robert Davis, of the New York City Police Department. Even
today, he says, “there’s a scarcity of facts. We don’t know if a
murder was committed. We constantly monitor information,
like bodies that are found, or reports of sightings.”

At the time Kathleen disappeared, she had been thinking
about ending her nine-year marriage, says the young
womans sister, Mary Hughes. And because Kathleen and
Robert were having problems, Davis says, it was not unusual
that Durst waited four days to report his wife’s disappearance.

circumstances,”
says Davis. “Usually a re-
port is made right away if a

couple had stable relations. These people
were having marital difficulties, and the lapse of a few
days may or may not be significant.”

But despite investigators’ pessimism, Mary Hughes and
Kathleen's elderly mother, Ann McCormack, still call the police
frequently, praying that some shred of evidence will turn up,
and that the seven-year-old mystery will be solved. Like many
other relatives of missing women, however, Mary Hughes does
not have much hope that her sister will be found. “But | know in
my heart that somebody out there knows where Kathie is, what
happened to her,” Hughes says. “I pray they will come
forward.”

A moming disappearance

ome women vanish under the most ordinary circum-
stances imaginable: not on a deserted street or a chilly
winter night, but as Cynthia Jane Anderson did—from a
well-lighted office, on a sunny summer day. In 1981, the
iwenty-year-old, who had been raised a devout Christian
fundamenialist, was looking forward to attending Bible college
with her boyfriend. It was an exciting time for the clean-cut
woman, but it seemed unsettling as well: Cindy confided to her
mother, Margaret, that she’d had a nightmare about being
attacked in the Toledo, Ohio, law office where she worked as a
secretary. She told her boyfriend that she had seen “I Love You
Cindy. G.W.” spray-painted on a wall near her office. And,
disturbed by what she said were loiterers outside, Cindy had
started locking herself in when she was alone at work.

On the morning of August 4, however, Cindy seemed
carefree as she said good-bye to her parents. She drove to
work, where she knew she would be alone; her two bosses
were away. A passerby who looked in the company’s plate-
glass window to check the time on the firm’s clock remembers
seeing her at nine forty-five AM.

By noon, when James Rabbitt, one of Cindy's bosses, arrived
at the office, the mail was still in the locked front door, and the
lights and radio were on. But Cindy was gone, and so was her
pocketbook; her car was still in the parking lot.

Detectives who came to the office that afternoon found a
paperback, Love Beyond Reason, near Cindy's desk, opened
to a gruesome scene in which a woman is attacked by a man
who breaks in on her with a knife. In real life, however, there
were no signs of a struggle. Cindy's frantic parents held all-
night prayer vigils and sent desperate handwritten letters to
dozens of friends, asking for prayers for their “sister in Christ.”

Investigators gave lie-detector tests to Cindy's associates
and sent bulletins to every coroner in the United States—to no

148

avail. There was not one solid clue to her whereabouts.

Today, eight years after his daughters disappearance,
Anderson resolutely believes that Cindy is alive. “She’d missed
breakfast that morning, she could have been light-headed,
and maybe she lost consciousness,” he says. “She could have
hit her head on the floor, had a loss of memory and then
awakened and walked off.” Such memory lapses do occur,
although they are extremely rare.

But Cindy's sister and her two brothers are more pessimistic.
They believe their sister was abducted and, most likely, mur-
dered. Police familiar with the case say the same thing. “What
hope is there that she’s alive?” asks Detective Bill Adams of the
Toledo Police Department. “I’d say nil.”

One private investigator, however, who asked not fo be
named, said that the possibility of “a voluntary disappearance”
could not be ruled out entirely.

Whatever the reason for Cindy's disappearance, the case
no longer gets the kind of publicity it once did. Cindy's
boyfriend has married and moved to Indiana. Her mother died
in 1983, and her father has remarried. Michael Anderson still
continues to pray, however, for his daughter's safe return. “I
feel that she’s alive and well,” he says. “My hope is that she’s
living a normal life—somewhere.”

What can be done?

he police in Toledo responded quickly to the report of
Cindy's disappearance, but experts say that is an excep-
tion. Often, police will not even take a missing-person
report until a certain amount of time has passed; in many
jurisdictions, that is at least twenty-four hours, unless there is
clear indication of foul play or the missing person is physically
or mentally impaired. Law-enforcement agencies are not
required to report the disappearance to the FBI. Because of this
haphazard policy, many bodies that are found are never
identified, and so a good number of cases remain unsolved.

“I'd like to see a nationwide program like the one we have in
New Jersey,” says Richard Raffino, executive director of the
state’s Commission on Missing Persons. “When somebody is
missing, the report is taken immediately by police, with no
waiting period. A bulletin is sent out throughout the state, and
the person is entered in the FBI’s computer system.”

Even the most sophisticated law-enforcement techniques,
however, do not guarantee that every missing woman, or most
of them, will be found. In all likelihood, the families of Julie Love,
Kathleen Durst and Cynthia Jane Anderson will never know
what happened to the young women they loved so much.
They, and the family of every other missing woman in America,
must live with an unrelenting anguish as they ask: Where are
they? How can a woman simply vanish without a trace? Hl

HOW TO LIVE
a = =owith aSLOB

essica, a_ thirty-seven-
year-old nurse, has
been married to Lee for
eight years. He’s a

pack rat, a man who
never throws anything away.
Her suburban New Jersey
home sometimes reminds her
of a flea market, she says. The
bedroom closets
are stuffed with
Lee’s old clothes
and shoes. A bro-
ken fan sits on a
pantry shelf next
to the banjo Lee
once tried learn-
ing to play. And
although he isn’t
much of a handyman, he’s got
the space under the kitchen
sink chockablock with tools that
once belonged to his father.

At first, says Jessica, she
found Lee’s hoarding habits
amusing. “l’d be cleaning
the house and
find the weird-

est stunt

she recalls.“A

shoe whose mate disappeared
years ago. The kind of ancient
wrench no one’s seen in fifty
years. There was something
lovable and idiosyncratic about
it.” But she’s no longer laugh-
ing. Worse, Lee’s habits have
become a constant source of
friction between them. “If | ask
him to get rid of anything, he
takes it as an attack,” she says.
“If | throw anything away,
he gets outraged. It’s driv-
ing me crazy.” (continued)

(continued) |t’s hard not to be
driven crazy when you live
with someone who saves all
kinds of possessions, even (or
especially) those with no ap-
parent value. Not only do you
have to contend with bulging
drawers and closets, but the
habit itself can seem like a
deliberate provocation—why
else would anyone want to
hang onto old lawn mowers,
ancient hubcaps or ties twenty
years out of style?

In fact, the experts say, pack
rats are fulfilling a real psycho-
logical need. “Some people
hold on to their possessions be-
cause it gives them a feeling of
being smart and thrifty,” says
Linda Barbanel, a psychothera-
pist in private practice in New
York City. “There’s the idea
they'll be able to use the object
again someday, and then
they'll feel clever for not having
to buy something new. It's not
too different from the impulse
most of us have to save paper
bags or glass jars we think we
might need later on.

“For those whose childhoods
were financially or emotional-

ly deprived, the
accumulation of
possessions pro-

vides a_ sense
of security,” she
adds. “And _ for

other people,sav-
ing possessions may simply be
a sentimental way of hold-

structuring their whole relation-

Still, if a saver’s belongings
can’t simply be dumped, the

REVAMP YOUR WARDROBE

When you reorganize your closet, take stock of your clothing as well. Part

of the reason closets reach a disaster state is they contain too many outdated
and ill-fitting fashions that need to be thrown out or donated to charity.

Below, tips on what to get rid of, plus more ways to organize and store clothes.
What to toss today Anything you like on the hanger,
hate on your body (the too-skinny knit skirt, the silk blouse
that gaps at the buttonholes); clothes that are permanently
Stained or torn beyond repair; ratty weekend clothing that
makes you look and feel like a slob; worn-out handbags,
shoes and boots; all skirts and pants that have been too
small to wear for the last two years; outdated basics (your
very first dress-for-success suit); stretched-out lingerie.
Get organized Store out-of-season clothes in storage
boxes or suitcases under your bed or in a lined wicker
trunk . . . Closet-door hooks are not only great for
accessories: Hang up mini shopping bags to hold lingerie,
pantyhose and socks . . . Don’t hang two garments on fop

LHJ’s fish in a flash

Cooking fish is one of the things the micro-
wave does best. It’s easy, tasty and moist—
plus cleanup’s a snap. Here’s a basic tech-
nique for cooking one pound of fillets to
perfection. The method adapts to almost
any fype of fish.

Choose '/-inch-thick fillets of white fish,
such as flounder, sole, haddock, scrod, sea
trout or bluefish. Arrange fillets in a single
layer in a 13 x 9-inch microwaveproof dish.
Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter or
margarine or 1 tablespoon fresh lemon
juice. Cover loosely with wax paper. Micro-
wave on High 2 minutes. Turn the dish
halfway around; microwave just until fish is
opaque in the center, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Let stand covered 2 minutes. Season with
salt and freshly ground pepper.

cook until slightly softened and bright
green. Drain and rinse under cold wa-
ter. Gently squeeze dry.

Heat oil in large nonaluminum skil-
let over medium heat. Add onion and
cook until translucent, about 3 min-
utes. Stir in kale, water, sugar, salt to
taste and the pepper; cook, stirring fre-
quently, until kale is softened, 5 to 8
minutes.

Drain fish and pour marinade into
kale. Cook over low heat, stirring occa-
sionally, until soft. Keep warm.

Grill or broil fish 5 to 6 inches from
heat just until opaque at center, 4 to 5
minutes per side for bluefish, about 3
minutes per side for medium-rare
tuna. Serve on bed of kale on platter.

WB The benefits of oat bran tast year the American Medical Association reported that a diet high in oat
bran, a rich source of soluble fiber, can significantly reduce blood cholesterol levels. How? Researchers
believe soluble fiber somehow binds with cholesterol in the digestive tract, preventing it from being
absorbed. How much oat bran should you consume? Experts say that you can lower cholesterol 3 to 15

percent if you eat 50 to 100 grams of oat bran daily ('/s to 7 cup) in conjunction with a low-fat diet.

ike a good look

<s and fillets should be evenly colored with no bruises and no

ming around the edges. The meat shouldn't be separating to a great
2e or falling from the bone. Il The shells of clams and mussels should
osed. If they’re open, tap them and they should close immediately. If
don’t close, they aren't fresh. Il Uncooked shrimp are pale pink to
nery gray and should look firm and plump. ll Lobsters, crab and

d be packed in liquid that’s clear, not milky.

esh vs. frozen

90d labeled “fresh” means only that it’s never been frozen. It’s not
sarily really fresh—it may have been out of the water for weeks.

2n seafood, if it was properly frozen within hours of being removed
the water and kept at steady cold temperatures, can be better quality
so-called fresh seafood. Thaw frozen seafood in the refrigerator—
ron the counter. Or place frozen seafood in a tightly sealed plastic
ind hold under cold running water. Don’t cook seafood from the

n state; it tends to cook unevenly and its texture can be damaged.

leukemia patients were placed on an
experimental regimen of chemothera-
py—very high doses of a number of
drugs—for two additional years. This
time, Elena’s leukemia went into re-
mission and stayed there, and doctors
now say she has a good chance of liv-
ing a long, healthy life. “I feel great,”
says Elena. “But I’m very lucky.”

She certainly is. Of her group of
twenty-eight patients, only six are still
alive. But the survival of these and
other children has helped countless
cancer victims, young and old. Today,
because of such innovative research
during the past two decades, more
than half of all children diagnosed
with cancer live at least five years af-
ter diagnosis. That is the point at
which doctors generally pronounce pa-
tients cured; only twenty years ago,
fewer than 10 percent would have
reached this stage.

“The growing survival rate among
children is, quite simply, the greatest
success story in the entire field of can-
cer research,” says Paul Meyers, M.D.,
a pediatric oncologist (cancer special-
ist) at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Can-
cer Center in New York City. By the
year 2000, in fact, one adult in every

thousand between the ages of twenty
and thirty will be a survivor of child-
hood cancer—and their success will
benefit future cancer patients.

UNDERSTANDING
CHILDHOOD CANCER

Every year, between six thousand and
seven thousand new cases of cancer are
diagnosed in children under age fifteen.
About 30 percent of those cases involve
leukemia, cancer of the blood-forming
tissues. Other relatively common child-
hood cancers include tumors of the
brain, kidney, bone and muscle; neuro-
blastoma (cancer originating in ner-
vous-system tissue); lymphoma (cancer
of the lymphoid tissue); and Hodgkin’s
disease (cancer of the lymph glands),
which strikes mainly adolescents.

Why are so many of these young pa-
tients doing so well? Breakthroughs in
surgery, chemotherapy and radiation
are the chief reasons for the rising
childhood survival rate. But doctors
say there are several factors that ex-
plain why children and adolescents
tend to do better than adults.

For one thing, young bodies are in
better shape to tolerate medication.
Children tend not to have the underly-
ing disorders many adult cancer pa-

inserted the catheter, I thought I was
going to die.”

By the next morning, however, he
was able to breathe without an oxygen
mask. Five days later, the catheter
was removed. Shortly thereafter, doc-
tors started intensive chemotherapy
and radiation treatments.

For the next three years, Sloan-Ket-
tering was Norman’s second home; he
was admitted to the hospital seventeen
times. Even when he was well enough
to receive treatment on an outpatient
basis, his mother often had to bring
him into Manhattan seven days a
week for chemotherapy—a one-hun-
dred-twenty-mile round-trip from his
New Jersey home. In the car, he would
vomit into a bucket kept in the back-
seat for that purpose.

Norman’s illness was wrenching for
his entire family. “When he first came
home, Norman was so weak, I had to
bathe him, which he found embarrass-
ing,” explains his mother, Marion.
“He’d also lost weight—and his hair—
so he didn’t want to see people,” she
adds. “Since Norman needed to rest a
lot, my husband and I and our four
other children limited phone calls and
visits from friends.”

DEALING WITH THE AFTERMATH

Despite the progress being made, not
all young cancer patients live happily
ever after like Norman. Some pediat-
ric malignancies are still frustratingly
resistant to cure. One kind of leuke-
mia—acute myelocytic leukemia—has
only a 30 percent cure rate, while neu-
roblastoma is cured just 5 percent of
the time, unless the child is under two
years old. (Then the cure rate is higher. )
Sadly, children who’ve had cancer once
remain at greater risk for developing
the disease than kids who never had it.
And when a child develops a second
malignancy, it’s usually fatal.

Those who do survive may suffer
lasting physical effects. Some cancer-
fighting drugs induce infertility, and
both chemotherapy and radiation have
been implicated in slowing children’s
growth. Doctors say these growth defi-
cits may be due to the effects of chemo-
therapy and radiation on cells and tis-
sues or, perhaps, to as-yet-unexplained
effects of the disease itself.

Researchers are also studying why
children treated with radiation, che-
motherapy or both sometimes suffer

@ KIDS AND CANCER

continued

They may get lower scores on IQ tests
following cancer treatment; others
have memory problems or difficulty
writing or speaking clearly.

Even when survivors emerge from
their ordeal without physical prob-
lems, they often find that cancer has
changed them emotionally. Elizabeth
Thompson, M.D., director of the post-
therapy clinic at St. Jude’s, says, “Kids
whose lives have been disrupted by
cancer often compare the ordeal to go-
ing off to war. Like returning soldiers,
they come home to find they’re differ-
ent from their peers because they’ve

had totally different experiences.
“Because they’ve learned early that
you never know how long life will
last,” she continues, “many survivors
want tc out and experience every-
thing life o offer.” Some, she says,
marry anc children very early.
Others become risk takers. To the con-
sternation of parents, Norman

Morgan has tried powered hang-glid-
ing—a daring sport he never consid-
ered before his illness—and he has de-

veloped a liking for fast cars. “I rarely
go under seventy-five miles an hour on
highways,” he admits with a grin.

The desire many survivors feel to

210

move ahead quickly is often stymied,
however, when it comes to building a
career. Although employment dis-
crimination against cancer survivors
is illegal, a recent national survey
showed that 45 percent of the survi-
vors experienced such bias. Survivors
are also often unable to obtain health
insurance; insurers fear they’ll have to
pay heavy costs if cancer recurs.

POST-CANCER TRIUMPHS

Despite such problems, most young
cancer survivors come through their
ordeal with a positive outlook. “People
who've had cancer—as well as their
families and the people who help
them—learn to take each day and
make the most of it,” says Jeanne Dy-
cus, A.C.S.W., L.C.S.W., director of so-
cial work at St. Jude’s. “Petty things
become irrelevant.”

Beth Michener agrees. Now twenty-
one and a student at Bryn Mawr Col-
lege, Beth was diagnosed with bone
cancer four years ago. Doctors man-
aged to save her leg, replacing her
knee joint with one made of metal.
“Cancer changed me,” Beth says
thoughtfully. “I see things differently
now. Lots of the other kids feel bogged
down with schoolwork. I’m happy just
to be alive.”

“My illness made me see the im
tance of enjoying myself without
rying too much about how I look,’
adds. “Though I sometimes w
about not being able to walk as we
other people, there really are mor¢
portant things in life than havir
take the stairs one at a time.”

Some young survivors are even
to turn post-cancer disabilities int
sets and rise above previous leve
physical performance. Todd Sc
hauser lost a leg to bone cancer ¥
he was in the tenth grade, and he
fitted with a prosthesis. Althoug
felt so depressed he didn’t want ta
his classmates, he forced himself
back to school.

A year later, Todd entered a1
bilitation program that involves
ning and lifting weights. Last Oct
he flew to Seoul, Korea, to partic
in the Paralympics, a series of g:
for disabled athletes held after the
ular Olympics. There, he won the
medal in the 100-meter race, cov
the distance in just 15.77 second
was a dream come true,” he re
“During the race, I didn’t hear or
thing. I focused only on my lane
cause when I run I never look be

deservedly proud survivor, “is the

W TREATMENTS, NEW HOPE

ie medical arsenal, here are three of the newest and most
ising weapons against cancer:

NE-MARROW TRANSPLANTS These procedures have
significantly refined since they were first performed in the
sixties. Most of the transplant recipients suffer from leukemia
other serious blood disorders. (Blood cells are manufactured in
marrow.)

fore doing a transplant, doctors give the patient drugs and
tion in doses so high, they'd ordinarily be lethal—were it not
ie infusion of healthy marrow from a compatible donor, like a
nt or sibling. Drugs are then given to prevent graft versus host
se, which develops when donated marrow attacks the recipient.
ot all patients are eligible for transplants, because a donor
h may not be available. In some cases, an autologous bone-
ow transplant is performed. In this operation, the patient's own
ow is removed, and doctors try to kill residual cancer cells
de the body. After the patient receives high-dose cancer
ment, the marrow is reinfused.

INNOCLONAL ANTIBODIES Made in the laboratory from
tultures taken from mice, these antibodies have the ability to
track down and hook onto cancer cells. Used largely to treat
ints receiving autologous bone-marrow transplants, monoclonal
iodies may be combined with the patient’s own marrow after

it's been removed from the body. There, they latch onto leftover
cancer cells so doctors can find them and remove them from the
marrow before it is reinfused.

In other cases, where bone-marrow transplants are not done,
monoclonal antibodies are used to shrink cancer tumors. This is
done by using monoclonal antibodies to find malignant cells and
make them “visible” to the patient's immune system, which is then
sometimes able to kill them. Monoclonal antibodies may even be
tagged with drugs and used to home in on and destroy cancer cells.

Although doctors began using monoclonal antibodies ten years

ago, the number of patients receiving this form of therapy is still
low. However, doctors say the technique may hold great promise
for the future.
BIOLOGICAL RESPONSE MODIFIERS Doctors have
started to pinpoint a number of compounds that help turn on the
body's own immune system to fight cancer. These compounds are
highly promising, since the level of chemotherapy has always been
limited by such side effects as a reduction in the patient's ability to
fight off infection. Sloan-Kettering’s Paul Meyers says a compound
called GCSF seems especially promising. When doctors give patients
chemotherapy and GCSF, their white-blood-cell counts stay at
healthy levels or actually increase, instead of dropping to danger-
ously low levels, he explains.

Bel-Air, which Jaclyn and her husband,
cinematographer Tony Richmond, age
forty-six, have been working on since
their marriage in 1981. “Tony is Brit-

ish, and we both wanted an elegant,
European-style home,” says Jaclyn.
“But in California it’s hard to find any-

this house and turned it into our

also transforme barren landscape
into an English country garden, with

romantic walking paths and hundreds
of flowers. “I love working there and
watching the children play. It’s very
relaxing,” she says

Jaclyn’s sabbatical has also given
her and Tony some much-needed time

212

together. “Marriage needs work,” says
Jaclyn, who was married twice before,
to actors Roger Davis and Dennis Cole.
“It can be difficult keeping a marriage
strong in this business because you
travel a great deal and are often under
stress. The other marriages didn’t
work out,” Jaclyn says wistfully. “I’m
an old-fashioned girl, and I didn’t be-
lieve in living with people, so I guess I
married for the wrong reasons at
times. This is really my first marriage,
in my opinion.”

Jaclyn’s prepared to defend her long-
awaited happiness. “You work at it.
You compromise. I’ve never been a par-
ty girl,” she adds. “I like marriage.
Now we have all the ingredients that
make a family life, which had always
eluded me, no matter how hard I tried.
This is a man who is proud of me, and
I'm proud of him. We have two beauti-
ful children. We have a partnership.

Marriage changes your life. You ha

That gives me an inner security tha

As a businesswoman, Jaclyn is al
proud of her merchandising ventu
with K mart. How did such a clas
celebrity come to design fashions fo.
mass marketer? Jaclyn says, “I lik
what K mart stands for—it’s a fam
store. I was approached by seve
companies that wanted to put 1
name on a line of clothing, but I lik
K mart the best. ’m involved wi
everything from fabric and color sel

Besides her own line—which
loyally insists she wears—Jaclyn’s

trals—black and white, as well
brown, khaki and taupe—and acce

Oklahomans are fond of saying, and
the saying holds true in Tulsa. The
Gilcrease Museum, for example, is
known for its Western art collection.
Two highlights are the sensitive field
studies of Indian life made by painter
George Catlin, who was friendly with
more than one hundred tribes; and the
bronze statues of Indians and cowboys
on horseback sculpted by that quintes-
sential Western artist, Frederick Rem-
ington. One of Remington’s most fa-
mous casts, “Coming Through the
Rye,” is housed in the museum.

Another museum of note is the Phil-
brook Museum of Art, an example of
Italian Renaissance architecture built
in 1927. The museum’s sloping garden,
with its zigzag hedges, pond and gaze-
bo, is strikingly beautiful; inside there
is an elegant multicolored dance floor
lighted from below and flanked on one
side by a fountain.

Perhaps the most unusual item in
the museum is the world’s most expen-
sive basket (valued at more than
$500,000), created by an Indian wom-
an artist named Dat-so-la-lee. Made of
willow and redbud bark, the large coil
basket took sixteen months to com-
plete.

In addition to its oil barons and art
lovers, Tulsa has a large Indian popu-
lation. Six percent of Oklahoma’s

three million inhabitants are native
Americans, and the eastern half of the
state was once Indian Territory, set
aside by the U.S. government for the
Indian tribes.

It was to Oklahoma’s Indian Territo-
ry that the Cherokees from the South-
east were forcibly moved in 1838 in
what is now known as the Trail of
Tears. Four thousand men, women and
children died in that year-long ordeal.

Much of the land around Tulsa is
still owned by the Indians (unlike oth-
er areas of the U.S., Oklahoma has no
reservations). To get a feeling for Indi-
an life, visit the modern Cherokee city
of Tahlequah and the reconstructed
Cherokee village of Tsa-La-Gi, both
about an hour by car from Tulsa.

Finally, if you've a hankering to
learn more about another famous
Oklahoman, you'll want to visit the
Will Rogers memorial in nearby Clare-
more, a moving tribute to the noted
humorist/pilot/rodeo star. Rogers and
his wife, Betty, are buried at the me-
morial, built in 1938 by the state.
Among the memorabilia at the muse-
um are a saddle collection, original
manuscripts and videotapes of Rogers’s
films.

SAN ANTONIO FIESTA!

The flavor is distinctly south of the
border. Frosty margaritas flow freely
at any of a number of outdoor cafés.
Mariachis, their black sombreros al-
most overshadowing the guitars that
they strum, set the musical mood.
Shoppers and sightseers stroll through
the colorful plazas and side streets as
they admire gift items and curios from
all over the world. Pinatas and pearls,
bangles and baskets, flowers and fash-
ion, they’re all to be found at San An-
tonio’s Market Square, the largest
Mexican-style marketplace in the
United States.

Located just a ten-cent streetcar ride
or a ten-block walk from the city’s his-
toric Alamo Plaza, Market Square is
host to over a million visitors each
year who come to browse through
beautifully restored shops and bou-
tiques, join in any one of a dozen year-
ly fiestas, sample the outstanding res-
taurants, and get a taste of the His-
panic culture for which San Antonio is
so well-known.

Public markets, where craftsmen
and tradesmen gather to sell their
wares, have always played a vital role
in the culture of our ninth largest city.
Market Square, located on the site of
San Antonio’s first public market, re-
captures much of the atmosphere of
days gone by.

From morning until late in the eve-
ning, especially on summer weekends,
Market Square bustles with activity.
Much of it centers around El Mercado,
a carefully restored air-conditioned
shopping area. Besides food, El Mer-
cado offers thirty-two specialty shops,
which sell a variety of merchandise
not often found in one’s hometown—
hand-tooled leather goods, handcrafted
gold and silver jewelry, painted egg-
shells and ceramic parrots, ashtrays
and chess sets made from black and
pale onyx, handwoven cotton ham-
mocks, multicolored baseball bats and
Mexican dresses and toys, and decora-
tions nrade of papier-mache.

The most interesting, perhaps, is
Artes Metalicas, where owner/designer
Jake Flores creates sculptures of ab-
stract and contemporary designs in
gold, brass and copper. His sunbursts
and leafy branches have already be-
come collectors’ items.

Across the street from El Mercado is

shaded park and three other historic
buildings—a church, school and fur-
nished pony-express station.

These stations played a big role in
the state’s history, as did the Overland
Stagecoach route, the Oregon and
Mormon trails, and a thriving fur
trade in Pine Ridge country. On the
banks of Bordeaux Creek, near Cha-
dron via U.S. Route 20, a trading post
operated from 1837 to 1876.

On our morning visit, a rooster
crowed in the countryside as we fol-
lowed a path to the trading post. It was
stocked with goods to trade to the Indi-
ans for their furs. Powder horns, tobac-
co, trade beads, knives, steel arrow-
heads, mirrors and wool cloth are but a
few of the wares on display.

Entry to the trading post is through
the adjacent Museum of the Fur Trade.
In this most amazing place, the entire
history of fur trading is laid out before
your eyes. There’s a chronological ac-
count, plus exhibits of clothing, traps
and personal possessions of British
and Spanish traders on the plains in
the nineteenth century. Historic trivia
abounds: One display discloses that in
1800 a good buckskin was worth a dol-
lar, which is how a dollar came to be
called a buck. There’s also a collection
of guns made for the Indian trade
(1750 to 1900) and a research library.

There is much to explore in the pic-
turesque Pine Ridge country, too. At
Fort Robinson State Park, about thirty
miles west of Chadron on U.S. 20, the
Trailside Museum offers geological
history and half-day geology field
trips. In addition, the 22,000-acre park
sponsors a complete recreation pro-
gram, including Jeep rides into the
hills and rodeo events. The fort was
often the site of confrontations with
Indians and was used as the Olympic
equestrian training grounds and a
prisoner-of-war camp. There are also
fort buildings dating from 1874 to
1909 and an interpretive museum. A
lodge and an inn provide rooms and
meals, and campsites are available.

Our brief sampling of Nebraska’s at-
tractions was an eye-opener. Of course,
we passed up a lot, but on our next trip
through the state, we'll launch anoth-

| SEARCH OF THE WILD WEST
vestern Nebraska you can still find
lence of wagon trains; tourists pour
here in search of the spots that
ped America’s heritage.
hree of these places are along the
Oregon Trail: Fort Kearny, where
tors find a combination of history
camping; North Platte, home to
falo Bill’s ranch; and Scotts Bluff,
promontory that marked the end of
“great American desert,” as the
eers called the high plains.
ort Kearny was built on a military
rvation in 1848 to protect govern-
it explorers and civilians in search
ew homes and dreams. Today this
rvation includes a historic site and
ie-hundred-fifty-acre recreation area
1 eight lakes on the property. On
historic are a museum and the
fort that Congress in 1847 or-
2d to be built “near Grand Island,
re the road to California encoun-
the Platte River.”
ecording to Ranger Hunt, a guide

After getting steeped in Cody lore,
you can help yourself to a kettle of
buffalo stew bubbling over a fire. (It’s

rodeo, too, that you can attend for $4.
If you arrive at the ranch around 4

get to the rodeo by 8:30 P.M.

To get to Buffalo Bill’s, take U.S. 83

U.S. 30 and west to Buffalo Bill Ave-
nue. The ranch is open every day April
through October. Admission is free,
but you will need a $2 Nebraska state
permit to enter.

About one hundred eighty miles
from the Buffalo Bill attraction in
northwest Nebraska is the final Ore-

@ Tip cutting Make a sharp diagonal cut
2% to 3 inches long from the tip of a
stem just below a leaf joint. Remove
the lower leaves, and insert in a moist-
ened rooting medium. For best results,
dip the cutting in a rooting hormone
before inserting it into the soil. Cover
the plant, and pot with a plastic bag or
with glass to retain moisture, and keep
the cuttings at 60°-70°F.

W@ Stem cutting Some plants, such as the
arrowhead plant, Swedish ivy and
starflower, root from stem cuttings.
Stems are cut into pieces and inserted
into the rooting medium. When the

leaves appear and have reached about
one-half the size of the stem, the cut-
ting is ready to be transplanted.

@ leaf cutting Cactus, African violets
and succulents will root from leaf cut-
tings. Depending upon the plant, you
either place the leaf stem in the root-
ing medium or make slits in the leaf
and lay it on top of the medium, cover-
ing it with glass or plastic. Let the
leaves of succulents or cactus dry out
before putting them in the rooting
medium.

@ Rooting in water Some plants, such as
impatiens and wandering Jew, will
root easily in water. Simply place the

they’re married to men of wealth and accomplishment.
For example, 82 percent of women who have a personal

annual income of $50,000 to $60,000 believe that they are

making the most of their lives, while only 26 percent of

venty-six years ago, Betty Friedan’s The Feminine
tique first presented “the problem that has no name”—
nounting frustration of women who felt hemmed in by
| domesticity. Since then, while countless words have

y women have quietly managed to find their own
ula for leading a full life without a lot of fuss. Overall,

me to talk to me. “Have you ever
d your hormone levels checked,
a?” he asked.

‘Tve had so many tests, I don’t
ow,” I replied.

‘Well, I know a doctor who special-
ss in hormone imbalances,” he said.
ve told her about your case, and she’d
e to see you. Are you willing?”
‘L.don’t care, send her in,” I said.
The next day the specialist, Har-
Jer Grewal, M.D., visited me. She
d me that she was going to run a
od test to evaluate my hormone lev-
“I don’t know if I can help you,”
e said. “I’ve only treated women
th premenstrual syndrome [PMS],
t I’m willing to do whatever I can.”
[ was skeptical. I no longer believed
at anyone could help me.

But when Dr. Grewal got the results
my blood/hormone test, she said that
e was shocked to discover that I had
actically no progesterone in my sys-
n. To compensate, she told me, my
‘rogen levels had soared. She felt
at this was the cause of my illness.
‘I think you’re suffering from post-
sterectomy syndrome, Ria,” Dr.
ewal said. She explained that this
is the term some doctors had given
the variety of medical problems that
1umber of women experience after a
sterectomy. (In 1974, in a widely
oted study of hysterectomy, the
itish medical journal The Lancet de-
ibed posthysterectomy syndrome.)
Dr. Grewal went on to.explain that
me women’s bodies are no longer
le to produce necessary hormones
e estrogen or progesterone after
hysterectomy. She said that such
rmone imbalances could cause a
mber of health problems. Many doc-
‘s had never even heard of posthys-
‘ectomy syndrome, and others didn’t
lieve it existed, she added.

[The doctor thought she could help
> by giving me hormone therapy.
e explained that this treatment is
ferent for each individual and that
e would monitor my hormone levels
sely during the therapy. David and
lecided it was worth a try.

fecare program at Corona Commu-
-y Hospital in Corona, California,
d began to get progesterone supposi-
ies. (Because I was extremely sensi-
re to estrogen, my body could not
ndle a combination of progesterone
d estrogen.) Miraculously, after six
eks in the program, I felt terrific. I
longer had the migraines, the nau-
a or the swollen joints. I had gained
ck the weight I had lost, and I final-

ly had energy. My depression lifted,
and I had a zest for life. My recovery
seemed too good to be true, and I kept
waiting for the illness to return.

But it didn’t. Day after day I contin-
ued to feel great. Overjoyed to be
strong again, I went home and im-
mersed myself in my sons’ lives. I had
worried that because of my illness the
boys would have turned to drugs or
alcohol, but instead they had become
responsible, successful young men. Da-
vid, Jr., is now in college studying busi-
ness administration, and Joe, who was
recently married, is an electrician.

Fortunately, my own marriage sur-
vived our ordeal. David stopped drink-

We've had to get to know and trust
each other all over again, but we now
have a strong, loving relationship.

When I was sick, I made a vow that
if I got better I would help other wom-
en. To help fulfill that promise I start-
ed working at the Women’s Lifecare
program. Today, I am director of the
program. I also give free public semi-

place?” —Celia Chramega, Milwaukee, WI!

My two young granddaughters were doing their
homework together. They attend different

asked. ‘’Sure,’” Sue answered. “She plays Val on
Knots Landing.” —Mildred Sherrer, Bay City, TX

great deal is going on at LHJ this month,
both on and off our pages, that | wanted
you to know about. For example, don’t

be surprised if you hear me talking to
you over the radio while you're driving to work or doing
some easy listening around the house. | have a new
weekly radio spot called “Modern Woman” that is
heard on almost two hundred radio stations throughout
the country. Of course, | talk about the fascinating
features in LH/—like our excellent health reports, such
as this month’s special cholesterol section (page 83), or
our celebrity features, like our charming inter-
view with Roseanne’s main man, John Good-
man (page 136) or our report on Fergie (page

180), or our investigative reporting, like our

p feature on preteen drinking, which every par-
(

ent should read (page 182). Frankly, there are so many interesting and
topical features in LHJ that it makes radio reporting easy!
LHJ on TV, too. Have you been watching the TV version of “Can
this marriage be saved?” The program, hosted by psychologist
Brenda Wade, was tested this spring on twenty-seven stations
and generated some great reviews. It is on hiatus now but
will be launched throughout the country in mid-September.
If you have been watching the show, let me know what
you think about it. Another possibility: If you and your
husband would like to be on the show in the fall to talk about the problems
in your marriage, let me know. Write and tell me about yourselves, and
enclose a picture of the two of you. (Make sure it’s one that does not have to be returned.)
Write to Myrna Blyth, CTMBS, Ladies’ Home Journal, 100 Park Avenue, New York, NY
10017. During the first six weeks, thirty couples discussed their marriage problems and
benefited from Dr. Wade’s sensible advice.

Our call-in days for readers have proven to be very successful. We really love
answering your questions and talking with you. This month’s call-in day is Wednesday, May
3, between one and four p.m. Eastern time. Remember the call’s on you. At the phone will
be Associate Decorating Editor Karen Reisler at 212-351-3683. Tell her if you liked our
special decorating feature “Our first home” (page 165). In addition, there will be Associate
Food Editor Barbara Ottenhoff at 212-351-3681, who'll answer questions about the recipes
in our Food Journal; Associate Books and Fiction Editor Sofia Marchant, who'd be happy to
talk about the books and stories we use in LHJ, at 212-351-3680; Assistant Beauty and
Fashion Editor Susan Parkes at 212-351-3682 to talk about beauty and fashion problems;
and Managing Editor Mary Mohler to talk about the magazine and child care at 212-351-
3684. So mark your calendars now with the date and phone numbers for easy reference.
Keep listening, keep watching and keep calling. Happy Mother’s Day!

Though Dorothy made her

living helping others patch up
their lives, she could find no
answers to her problems with

Tom. By Ellen Switzer

Introduced thirty-six years ago, “Can
this marriage be saved?” is the most
popular, most enduring women’s
magazine feature in the world. This
month’s case is based on interviews
with clients and information from the
files of Donald Paglia, M.S., a
counselor in Connecticut who has a
private practice in New Haven and
works with the Archdiocese of Hartford.
The story reported here is true,
although names and other details have
been changed to conceal identities.

Tm a therapist,

but my own
marriage 1s a mess”

Dorothy's tum

“I BECAME A THERAPIST TO
help other people avoid the
kind of mess my own life has
become,” said Dorothy, thirty-
four, a tall woman who looked
drained and exhausted. “I have
a master’s degree in social
work and almost ten years of
experience as a_ counselor.
Still, ’m at the end of my rope,
with a young child who is less
than two but already
showing the strain of
my unhappy marriage
and apparently of in-
adequate parenting.
I’m so miserable I fear
Pll start using alcohol
and tranquilizers to es-
cape my problems, just
like my mother did.

“It isn’t as if I rushed
into marriage with a stranger.
Tom and I met when we were
freshmen in high school. Now I
can see that what drew us to-
gether was mutual unhappiness.

“I come from a very dis-
turbed family, as does Tom.
My mother, who was married
at seventeen, got pregnant on
her wedding night. A baby was
the last thing she wanted, so I

was shipped off to my grand-
parents’ home, where I stayed
until I was seven.

“Then, suddenly, right after
my seventh birthday, they de-
cided they wanted me back. By
this time, I had a little brother,
and I think they needed me to
help out. By the time I was
ten, I was their principal baby-
sitter and housekeeper. My
mother was mostly drunk or
bombed out on pills, and my
father was rarely home.

“Tom was my first real
friend. His family actually
seemed to have more problems
than mine. Both of his parents
were alcoholics; he, too, was
doing most of the chores, and
neither of us had time for fun
like the other kids. We knew
early on that getting scholar-
ships was the only way out of
our impossible homes, so we
worked hard to get top grades.

“Ultimately, we both won
scholarships to the state uni-
versity, and when we were in
graduate school—Tom in engi-
neering and me in _ social
work—we decided to get mar-
ried. That was seven years ago.

“But the marriage was un-
happy from the (continued)

(continued) start. We had little
money, and we both had jobs while
we struggled with schoolwork. Our
sex life was sporadic, though I think
his lack of interest was probably
due to exhaustion. Once we settled
down to a normal life, I kept telling
myself, things would be fine.

“J don’t know why it took so long to
realize that we had different ways of
coping with stress. Perhaps because
our problems were so similar. Any-
way, I like to talk things out, and my
training emphasized the importance
of good communication. Tom is with-
drawn and finds it impossible to
share his feel-
ings. He com-
plains, he wants

pity, but he can’t reciprocate. When-
ever I need comfort, he makes a sar-
castic remark about therapists who
can’t help themselves. We rarely
talk. We just yell.

“Anyway, by the time we finished
our studies, we had both found jobs
in Texas, as far away from our fam-
ilies as possible. Still, our marriage
became increasingly rocky, and I
was seriously thinking of leaving—
until I discovered I was pregnant.

“Then the oil depression hit. Tom
lost his job, and the only new job he
could find required us to move back
to our home state, Connecticut.
What’s more, my baby was not
gaining enough weight. I knew that
infants who fail to grow often feel
their mothers have rejected them;
psychologists call it ‘failure to
thrive.’ When I saw that phrase on
Susie’s chart, I was devastated.

“Tom suggested I give up the idea

of going back to work. His own
mother, he pointed out, had held a
job and had neglected her children

because of it. I understood his point,
but I also knew I needed to work at
least part-time for the money. But I
agreed, grudgingly, to stay home.
“On top of all this, Tom tells me
he hates his job. Tom has always
had trouble with authority fig-
ures—I’m sure that’s why he
changed jobs so often. But he insists

this boss is the worst. It doesn’t
really matter. Right now there are
no other opportunities, and Tom
will just have to stick it out.
“Recently, however, Tom has
seemed even more withdrawn than
usual; I insisted he get counseling,
or I’d take Susie and leave. But
then it dawned on me that Tom
wasn’t the only one who needs pro-
fessional help. I need help, too. I
want to keep this family together.”

Tom’s tum

“When Dorothy and I were in high
school, we spent a lot of time in a
contest over who had the most mis-
erable family life. Usually I won,”

“Dorothy says nothing is night
between us—mostly because of my
many flaws,” Tom complains.

said Tom, whose downcast demean-
or belied his thirty-five years.

“Like Dorothy, I was the oldest
and the caretaker. There were
countless nights when I never knew
where my parents were; sometimes
they never made it home until morn-
ing. And, like Dorothy, I always felt
inadequate and guilty. It was obvi-
ous that my brother and sister had
worse problems than I did, and I
thought it was up to me to help—an
impossible task. Dorothy and I
couldn’t wait to leave home, and yet
we still felt like deserters.

“We were such close friends for so
long that we never gave ourselves a
chance to get to know anyone else. I
had a few dates but just couldn’t
find anything in common with the
women I took out. Dorothy appar-
ently had the same experience. So
we drifted into marriage. Almost
immediately we started to fight.

“Tl encouraged Dorothy to get a
degree in social work—partly, I
think, because I thought she’d then
be able to help me. Instead, she
started telling me why nothing was
right between us—mostly because
of my many flaws. Being psychoan-
alyzed by your wife is not a comfort-
able feeling, and we grew farther
apart. Just before she told me she
was pregnant, in fact, I had thought
of leaving her, too.

“My work situation didn’t help.
In Texas, things were great. If I
didn’t like a job, I could quit and
easily find another. But when the
recession hit, things changed dra-
matically. ’m lucky to have a job,
even though it means working for
someone I hate. My boss does noth-
ing but push his underlings around.
Dorothy tells me I have trouble
with authority figures ... but she
should try working with this guy.

“Dorothy has also told me that I
don’t really communicate. I suppose
that’s true. I do find it difficult to
open up, to tell her I love her. But
I’m afraid she’ll come back at me
with those shrink-type questions,
like ‘What do you mean by love?’

“Also, our sex life,
which was never great,
has been deteriorating
steadily. Often, it’s me
holding back, but I can’t
help thinking that Doro-
thy, with her professional
background, is monitor-
ing my performance. I
worry that I’m not satis-
fying her. It’s hard to feel
passionate.

“So we end up fighting almost
constantly about everything, which
is surprising, since wed known
each other for ages before marry-
ing, and all along we rarely argued.

“At first, I resented Dorothy’s
suggestion about counseling, but I
realize she’s right. Susie deserves a
better chance than we had.”

The counselor's tun

“Often, a man and woman who have
had little joy and love in childhood
are drawn to each other for all the
wrong reasons,” said the counselor.
“They -think anybody who didn’t
have the same misfortunes could
not possibly understand what they
went through. Like Dorothy and
Tom, they may spend their lives re-
hashing all that went wrong.

“The prospects for such a mar-
riage are bleak. The couple carry
such a load of negative feelings—
guilt, low self-esteem and resent-
ment—that they tend to take their
problems out on each other.

“Since Dorothy and Tom truly
thought their problems were
unique, I first suggested they join a
support group for adult children of
alcoholics. Such groups can now be
found in most communities, often
sponsored (continued on page 18)

by Alcoholics Anonymous. By talking
with others who had experienced the
same trauma, they realized two impor-
tant points: that under the circum-
stances many of their problems were
inevitable and also that they were not
bad people, unworthy of happiness.
This helped them focus on the specific
things they could do to change their
lives.

“I also suggested that Dorothy take
Susie to a specialist for a complete
physical evaluation. Following a bat-
tery of tests, this physician determined
that Susie’s inability to gain weight
was not due to failure to thrive after
all, but rather to a severe allergy to
milk and wheat. Once a proper diet
was prescribed, Susie blossomed. so
Dorothy didn’t feel guilty anymore.

“Now we were able to tackle the oth-
er problems in their relationship. Be-
cause of a childhood spent with par-
ents who were totally unreliable, Tom
was unable to trust anyone, including
himself, to solve a problem. For self-
protection, he withdrew and, not sur-
prisingly, was unable to reach out to
help others, including Dorothy. If trou-
ble cropped up—at work or in his mar-
riage—he would lock his feelings inside.

“Dorothy had chosen social work
with the subconscious belief that she
would be able to help herself by help-
ing others. As is often the case, that
strategy backfired. She was simply too
close to the problem to solve it.

“Making matters worse was the fact
that Tom had come to feel like one of
Dorothy’s cases rather than her hus-
band. Her constant pontificating in-
timidated him and made him feel even
more inadequate in his ability to solve
problems. To make sure Tom didn’t
feel we were ganging up on him, I re-
fused to engage in any professional
discussions with Dorothy, though ini-
tially Dorothy continued to talk in
technical terms. Finally I was able to
convince Tom that people trained in
mental health are not magicians or
hypnotists. And once Dorothy
dropped her holier-than-thou attitude,
Tom started reaching out to her.

“Clearly, this couple also had to re-
learn how to communicate. Dorothy
and Tom no longer had productive dis-
cussions, just loud inconclusive fights.
I told them that even the best of
friends often start fighting after mar-
riage because they expect more from
each other. However, if they kept
fighting over small decisions, they’d
never agree on the larger ones.

“During one session, I asked how

switch to a heavier night cream. But recent tests

Neutrogena® found that it

Neutrogena® Night Cream feels as light as

about the way it performs. Neutrogena can
double your skin's moisture for 8 hours.
How? By carefully balancing the most
generous moisturizing ingredients with the
lightest emollients. All the while, making
absolutely sure it’s non-comedogenic,
fragrance-free, and hypo-allergenic—
everything dermatologists recommend for
the safety of your skin.

ctober 6, 1985, started out
just like any other Sunday
morning in our family. My
husband, John, and I were
reading the newspaper and
eating a leisurely breakfast
when at about 9:30, our two
sons—Michael, fourteen, and
Brian, ten—asked if they could
go to a friend’s house to play.
John and I agreed. I can’t tell
you how many times since then
I’ve wished we'd said no.

We've always been a close-
knit family. We live in Vero
Beach, Florida, and practically
all of our weekends were filled
with picnics on the beach and
the boys’ sporting events. Brian

and Brian went to play with his

(not his real name), who lived
three blocks away.

About an hour later, I was

still in my bathrobe when some-
one pounded on our front door.
Suddenly, one of our neighbors
burst in. “There’s been an acci-
dent at Freddy’s house!” he
gasped. “Your son Brian has
been badly hurt.”

John immediately ran out the
door and headed, for Freddy’s
house. I stood there for a mo-
ment in shock. Then I raced into
the bedroom to throw on some
clothes. “Please, God, don’t let it
be true,” I prayed. -

When John arrived at
Freddy’s, a police cruiser and an
ambulance were parked outside.
A policeman was standing at the
front door with Freddy’s par-
ents, who were screaming and
crying. “I can’t believe it!”
Freddy’s father told John. “We
taught our son about guns!”

As John stared at Freddy’s fa-
ther in confusion, the police offi-
cer spoke. “Mr. Darling, there’s
been an accident,” he said.
“Your son Brian has been shot.
He’s dead.”

“No!” said John, shaking his
head. “Where is he? I want to see
him!”

At John’s insistence, the offi-
cer led the way to Freddy’s par-
ents’ bedroom. Brian was on the
floor, lying on his back. His eyes
were closed; he looked as though
he were sleeping. (continued)

the visor of Brian’s baseball cap. He
cradled our son in his arms and
shook him, trying vainly to get
some kind of a response.

Shortly after, John came back to
our house. As soon as I saw the look
on his face, I knew what he was
going to say. “Brian’s dead,” he told
me. I collapsed into his arms.

Through our tears, John and I
kept asking each other how such a
terrible thing could have happened.
Haunted by that question, we went
to speak to Freddy’s parents the
next day.

Freddy’s father told us that he
had legally purchased a handgun—
a .44 Magnum revolver—just two
days before Brian was killed. There
had been a series of petty burglaries
recently in our neighborhood, and
Freddy’s father felt he needed pro-
tection. He’d shown the unloaded
gun to Freddy, and then, after
Freddy had left the room, his father
loaded the weapon and placed it in
his dresser drawer.

When Brian went over to
Freddy’s house, Freddy’s parents
ran an errand, leaving the boys
home alone. Freddy led Brian into
his parents’ bedroom and took the
gun from the dresser drawer. He
cocked the trigger and jokingly
pointed it at Brian’s head. Suddenly
he realized that the revolver was
loaded. As he tried to uncock the
trigger, the gun accidentally went
off. The shot hit Brian in the fore-
head, killing him instantly.

The weeks following Brian’s
death were a blur. John and I cried
constantly, and all we could talk
about was the accident, while our
friends rallied around us to offer
comfort and support.

As John and I ached for our son,
we realized that hundreds of other
parents were suffering, too. It
seemed that every time we picked
up a newspaper or turned on the
TV, another child had been hurt or
killed in a gun accident. We’d never
really been aware of these tragedies
before, but now John and I saw that
Brian’s death was not an isolated
incident at all.

Hoping to prevent even one more
accident, John wrote a letter to the
editor of our local paper describing
our tragedy and urging parents to
remove or unload any guns that
they had in the house. Within days
a dozen people had called to say

that they would never again keep a
firearm at home.

Three months after Brian died,
we moved to another part of town,
no longer able to live in the house
where we’d shared so many happy
times with our son. I was still con-
sumed with grief and anger over
Brian’s death, and I knew I had to
do something to help myself work
through it. That’s when I read in
the paper that a chapter of the
Compassionate Friends, a nation-
wide organization for parents who
have experienced the death of a
child, was starting nearby. I joined
right away, and for the first time I
was able to start letting go of all of
my sorrow.

We've forgiven Freddy for what
he did; it’s horrible enough that he
will have to live with it for the rest
of his life. However, it’s much hard-
er to forgive his parents. I feel that
they were grossly negligent in
keeping a loaded gun in their
house, and I was very angry at
them for a long, long time. John
and I considered bringing a lawsuit
against them, but we decided
against it because nothing could
ever replace our son. We haven't
talked to Freddy’s family since.

Although the worst seems to be
behind us, Michael, who is now sev-
enteen, still cannot cope with his

brother’s death. He’s been through
counseling, but he refuses to talk
about Brian.

For John’s part, he became ac-
tively involved in the fight against
handguns. He talked to Brian’s for-
mer Little League coach, who was a
dean at the local community col-
lege, and they decided to produce a
documentary video called “Brian’s
Message.” On the tape John talks
about Brian’s death, and gun safety
tips are given.

The tape was completed on
Christmas Eve 1985—which would
have been Brian’s eleventh birth-
day. With no promotion other than
word of mouth, the video has been
seen by more than three thousand
people across the country. It’s a
powerful tape, one that I think ev-
ery parent and child should see.
Currently, John is also.a member of
the Center to Prevent Handgun Vi-
olence, a nonprofit education re-
search group in Washington, D.C.

By speaking out, John and I hope
we can spare other families the suf-
fering we’ve endured. Both parents
and schools need to teach kids about
firearms, just as they teach them
about the dangers of drugs and alco-
hol. Most important, kids need to
understand that weapons are not
toys. That’s the real message John
and I are trying to spread. a

Teaching your kids about guns

According to the National Safety Council,
firearms are the fourth leading cause of
accidental death among children ages
fourteen and under. A recent study by
the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence
showed that in homes where uninten-
tional shootings of children occurred,
handguns were frequently kept where
kids could easily get at them—in a
night-table drawer, in a closet or even
under a pillow.

Whether you're for or against guns, it
is essential to teach gun safety to your
children. According to the Police Execu-
tive Research Forum, a Washington, D.C.,
group of police chiefs and criminal justice
experts, there are four basic gun-safety
rules parents should follow:

i If you own a gun, never keep it
loaded.

MM Always keep your gun under lock and
key. Carry the key with you at all times.

MM Store and lock up ammunition sepa-
rately from your gun.

MH Talk to adults at other places where
your kids play to make sure they practice
these safety measures. —

Finally, even if you don’t own a fire-
arm, make it a point to explain to your
children how dangerous guns are. Tell
them that if they do come across a gun
at a friend’s house or anyplace else, to
leave the room immediately and notify
an adult that the gun is out.

videotape Brian’s Message, send $15 (to

% FRENCH CHI Inspired by the
great Coco Chanel,

this is a sophisticated, go-anywhere look com-
prised of navy or black wide-leg trousers paired
with a white blouse, piles of long gold chains and
pearls, gold button details, and contrasting-toe
flats or low-heeled slings. A perfectly polished
way to wear wide-leg pants to the office.

e JUMPSUIT You've never seen

splashy, all-in-one
styles like these before! This spring’s versions of
jumpsuits go from tailored, simply-belted num-
bers to luxuriously floaty, pajamalike, unbelted
silhouettes. They're comfortable, casual and your
best bet for weekends and dressed-down-but-
dapper evenings. Keep accessories to a minimum.

BE PANTSUITS scocter very bck,

team wide trousers with a longer, shapelier,
same-color jacket or try high-waisted slacks with
a cropped jacket in a contrasting color. Mix fabrics,
too, for a newsy look—top billowy chiffon trou-
sers with a crisp, body-tailored jacket. Another hot
pantsuit look: wide pants paired with a matching
short-sleeved, contoured jacket—very forties.
Designers agree that no matter what your figure,
wide pants in classic neutrals
like black, navy and white are
most flattering. One super look
to pick up on is jaunty sailor
pants with shiny gold buttons
in both dressy and sporty fab-
rics. For a spirited casual look,
add a T-shirt, espadrilles and
a big straw hat.

It’s infuriating. The shampoo
you chose so carefully for your
hair type, the shampoo you
count on to give your hair just
what it needs — suddenly,
without explanation, stops
performing. Your hair looks limp
...dull.. . blah.

Before you say, philosophi-
cally, “There are no guarantees,” consider
this: There is a reason the performance
has been cancelled. “Shampoo build-up”
clings stubbornly. Washing with even fine
shampoos leaves a shampoo “residue” that
gradually overwhelms all the good things
your shampoo can do.

Even worse, tests on 15 quality shampoos
show that these dulling residues keep on
accumulating each time you shampoo.
Adding more and more residue.

Performance insurance is what you need.

will keep performing in spite of build-up?
Yes! To keep your shampoo performing at its

peak, you must, temporarily, switch to a
shampoo that safely gets rid of build-up.
WARNING: Think before you switch. You
may be simply switching from one set of resi-
dues to another. With poor results for the
beauty of your hair. You need a shampoo that
removes residues, and doesn’t leave residues.
Which shampoo works best? According
to laboratory tests of 15 quality shampoos,
Neutrogena® Shampoo ranked at the top,
and “demonstrated consistently superior resi-
due removal with almost no build-up itself.”

“Test results indicate a single wash with
Neutrogena Shampoo was adequate to
remove in excess of 90% of shampoo
residue. Even with conditioners, which
are far more substantive to the hair, a
single wash with Neutrogena removes
70% of the residue.”
Shompoo Rinsobsity Study, Neutrogeno Skin Core Institute. (Excerpt from lab report).
The clincher: unlike many traditional sham-
poos, Neutrogena Shampoo frees your hair
from most build-up the first time you use it!
If you want your chosen shampoo fo per-
form beautifully for you, give it “performance
insurance.” Replace it occasionally with
Neutrogena Shampoo for just 14 days. Then
go back to your original shampoo, and see
how much better it works!

Neutrogena Shampoo insures perfor-
mance with a satisfaction-or-your-money-

HIDDEN COMFORT HELPS
YOUR FEET SURVIVE YOUR SHOES.

From the looks of some shoes, it’s a wonder they don’t
come with a warning. But with Dr. Scholl’s
Insoles and Heel Liners, you can take care of many of the
problems your shoes might hand your feet. For instance,
our Half Insoles are made of a specially designed

foam that puts extra cushioning at the balls of
your feet, where you're most likely to
feel pain. Maybe the warning on
some shoes should read: not to be
worn without Dr. Scholl’s
Hidden Comfort.

continued

a deluge of acting offers after her criti-
cally acclaimed performance as a vic-
tim of Lou Gehrig’s disease in the 1987
TV movie Right to Die. But the hemor-
rhaging continued sporadically, dis-
rupting her schedule and gradually
sapping her strength.

“T have a very strong will,” she says
with pride. I'd go thr ough hell and
high water to make performances
work.” She discovered, however, that
determination couldn’t conquer her
health troubles. “I finally had to face
the terrible fact that no amount of
willpower helped. I was losing so much
blood that my body just wouldn’t go.”

One day in 1987, while she was on
location for an NBC docudrama, Scan-
dal in a Small Town, Raquel literally

* Hidden Comfort®

collapsed. “It happened so suddenly,”
she remembers. “I felt my legs go
weak, and right in the middle of the
scene I just sank to my knees.”

After four days in bed, Raquel felt
fairly well again. But now she was
emotionally shaken. “I kept wondering
when the other shoe would drop,” she
says. “I’m a high-energy gal. But now I
couldn’t count on enough stamina to
get through a day.”

Raquel consulted gynecologists in
Los Angeles, where she keeps a pied-a-
terre for use while she films videos and
TV movies (her primary residence is in
New York). All were baffled by her
problem. “I was in trouble,” she says.
“But no one knew why.”

Her heart and lungs were perfectly
healthy, the result of eight years of
rigorous dieting, yoga and aerobics. In
fact, between sieges of hemorrhaging,

she filmed a physically strenuous |
exercise-diet video, “Raquel: Lose
lbs. in 3 Weeks.”

Private heartbreak

Besides her physical trauma, Raq}
was also under a great deal of emotic
al stress: She and Andre were in 1
midst of a secret trial separation, 4
she admits that the situation was t
ribly painful.

Talking about the breakup is di
cult for Raquel. As adept an actress;
she is, she cannot conceal her dis:
pointment at parting from the Fren
man she describes as “uniquely s;
cial. I think he’s a genius.”

Andre is also a “free spirit,” and }
quel concedes she may have been *
demanding. After their 1980 marria;
he had devoted most of his time
helping her rebuild her career, whi
had plummeted after the debacle w
MGM. He encouraged Raquel to tac]
Broadway in the musical Woman of j
Year, to write a book, and to ma
fitness videos and TV films. Th
formed a joint production compal
Total Video, and Andre did editii
mixing and dubbing of Raquel’s vid)
tapes. “He was my man,” she sa
“helping me take my best shot.”

But Andre was restless to resul
his own career as.a writer-cinemati
rapher. Raquel admits he told her s¢
eral years ago, “Listen, my love, ni
that you have this rebirth, I’ve got;
go my own way. You can’t stay a chi
forever.” She understood, but s
didn’t want to let go. “Andre made 1
feel less vulnerable. I needed him,” s
says. That led to constant argumen
“We were two strong personaliti
each with our own needs.”

Finally, last spring, they agreed
the separation “to see if we felt bett
apart or wanted to rush back into ea
other’s arms.” Andre rented a stu
directly above the luxurious Manh;
tan co-op they had shared on tony Cé
tral Park South, a move that Raqu
approved because “I didn’t want to be
weight hanging around him when
wanted to fly. But I still care enou)
about him that to lose all conté
would be a kind of death.”

As she reminisces now, sipping ¢
fee, Raquel says, “Andre and I learn
that the marital intimacy is rea
over, but we can still love each other
without being lovers. To me that’s
happy ending.” But the trial sepal
tion “was a terrible time. I felt I was)
some awful purgatory!”

ee alternatives to hysterectomy

Raquel Welch, many women today do
ant—or need—to have a hysterectomy
Ive their health problems. “Women
be given other alternatives, unless
oblem is life-threatening,” says Ruth
rz, M.D., an obstetrician and gynecol-
in private practice in Rochester, New
and a member of the American Col-
of Obstetrics and Gynecology Task
‘on Hysterectomy.
+ latest medical alternative to the esti-
1 600,000 to 700,000 hysterectomies
‘med every year is the rollerball oper-
Raquel underwent. The rollerball is per-
d with an instrument called a resecto-
a pencil-thin wand with a tiny electri-
harged ball or loop at the tip. Accord-
- Raquel’s doctor, Duane E. Townsend,
jioneered the technique, the resecto-
is inserted through the cervix and
d around the uterus, cauterizing the
2 and destroying the cells that make
2 uterine lining and cause menstrual
ms.
msend stresses that the rollerball can-

not cure malignancies. But benign tumors—
even large fibroids—can be removed.
Ironically, the rollerball technique has
been used for more than thirty years—to
treat men for prostate problems. “But what
is new—and the key to our success with the
rollerball—is our ability to look inside a
patient’s uterus before the operation with a
device called a hysteroscope, which has a
built-in light and miniature camera,” Town-
send says. “It sends back a picture of the
uterus, which appears on a video screen.
The patient and her doctor can see what the
problem is and decide how to treat it.”
Although there are only a handful of
doctors in the U.S. currently using the roller-
ball, Townsend predicts that within three
years it will become a standard procedure,
reducing the number of unnecessary hyster-
ectomies. What's more, the cost of the rol-
lerball operation is just $2,000, while a
hysterectomy can be $8,000 to $10,000.
Another new method for treating exten-
sive uterine bleeding is laser surgery; so far
only 20 to 30 percent of gynecologists in the

U.S. are trained in it. In this procedure, a
special operative hysteroscope is inserted
into the uterus. The laser beam travels
through an optical fiber inside the scope and
coagulates uterine tissue, thus stopping
bleeding. As with the rollerball technique,
no incision is required, and the cost is less
than for a hysterectomy (about $3,000 to
$4,000). However, laser surgery does cause
sterility. Not only that, 12 percent of the
patients who undergo the surgery continue
to experience bleeding. There is also some
concern that if all the uterine tissue is not
removed, cancer cells may develop.

Finally, if a woman's bleeding is caused by
uterine fibroids, she can undergo a myomec-
tomy—surgery that removes just the fibroids.
Though this procedure is not new, it’s often
recommended only for young women who
plan on having more children. The drawbacks:
Myomectomy can be a difficult procedure,
causing a great deal of blood loss. Also,
because fibroids often reappear, doctors may
recommend hysterectomy as a permanent
solution. —PAMELA GUTHRIE O'BRIEN

ike hope, some components
of motherhood spring eternal:
the wonder of an infant's first
smile, the thrill of a baby’s first
word, the satisfaction of guiding a
child through the tempests of ado-
lescence. But the patterns of moth-
erhood are changing, in ways both
prosaic and profound, as America
stands on the cusp of the nineties.

Blended families are fast becom-
ing the norm rather than the ex-
ception; millions of “sandwich-gen-
eration” women are caring for
parents as well as children; and far
too many families are finding them-
selves without one of their most ba-
sic needs: a home.

WORKING... WITH CHILDREN

Perhaps the single most startling
and far-reaching change in moth-
erhood is the unprecedented surge
in the number of working women
with infants. The newest statistics
show that 50.8 percent of all moth-
ers with children under age one
are employed outside the home.
That reflects an astonishing jump of
42 percent since 1978, when just

(continued) mothers were in
the work force, according to
Howard Hayghe, an econo-
mist with the federal Bureau
of Labor Statistics.

The percentage of work-
ing moms with older children
is even higher: 56.1 percent
of all mothers with children
aged six or under (up from
44 percent in 1978) and
65 percent of all mothers
with children under eighteen
(up from 47 percent
in 1978).

This trend shows
no sign of reversing,
or even of slowing
down. By 1995, two
thirds of all preschool
children and four
fifths of all school-
age children will
have a mother in the
work force, according
to Helen Blank, di-
rector of child care
for the Children’s De-
fense Fund.

Now that their
numbers have be-
come so strong, can
this critical mass of
working mothers fi-
nally make afford-
able child care a na-
tional priority? Ex-
perts say the odds,
though slim, are im-
proving. In the last
session of Congress, the Sen-
ate killed legislation that
would have helped low-in-
come parents pay for day
care and provided up to ten
weeks of unpaid parental
leave to parents of newborn,
newly adopted or seriously
ill children. A $2.5. billion
day-care subsidy package
ran into opposition as well.
But now, with President Bush
ostensibly taking the cause
more seriously than did

President Reagan—Bush
calls child care “one of the
most important issues facing
the nation’—there is hope
that similar legislation may
eventually be enacted.

CAN WE GO HOME AGAIN?
With all the difficulties of bal-
ancing family and career, it
is little wonder that many
working mothers feel the tug
of home. Some, deciding
they cannot be superwom-
an, drop out of the work-
force to be with their kids
during the precious years of
infancy and childhood.

But the number of women
who do so—or can even
consider doing so—is ex-
tremely small. More often
than not, such a move has its
drawbacks as well as its joys.
“Staying home, for most
women, means sacrifice,”
says Susan Hayward, vice-
president of the research firm
Yankelovich Clancy Shul-
man, “They have to give up a
lot economically.”

DIVORCE AND (RE)MARRIAGE
Women often stay behind
their desks for another rea-
son as well: “They work as
insurance,” Hayward says.
“Most of them réalize there’s
a possibility they might end
up raising the children by
themselves because of di-
vorce.” (Experts say that
more than half of all court-
ordered child-support pay-
ments are never made.)
America’s divorce rate is
high and likely to remain so;
about 60 percent of the
marriages among those
adults born in the older half
of the baby boom (ages thir-
ty-three to forty-two) will end
in divorce, while the rate is a
slightly lower 50 (continued)

(continued) for a mother
to know that she cannot
provide even a home in
which to shelter her chil-
dren. Contrary to popu-
lar perception, homeless-
ness, which has spilled
over from large cities
into suburbs and small
towns, is not a problem
mainly affecting single
men.

Instead, families com-
prise the largest seg-
ment—40 _ percent—of
the estimated three mil-
lion homeless, says Kris-
ten Morse, assistant di-
rector of the Coalition
for the Homeless, in New
York City. Thirty percent
of the homeless—one
million—are children.
Their average age: six.

As the biggest causes of home-
lessness among families, experts
cite a sharp reduction in federal
housing funds and a simultaneous
decline in the construction of af-
fordable homes. “Five years ago,
we weren't even keeping statistics
on this,” says Morse. “Homeless-
ness was not perceived as a prob-
lem. But in 1988, the number of
homeless increased by twenty-five
percent, and it’s not getting better.”

LOOKING AHEAD

Unquestionably, the challenge of
being a mother in 1989 is greater
than it has ever been. Most moth-
ers work, and not only must they
find someone to care for their chil-
dren during the day, but they must
somehow summon reserves of en-
ergy to be loving parents at night.
For the millions of women who
manage to balance these two de-
manding worlds, however, the re-
ward is well worth the effort. Hi

In any situation where we lose face—from failing anexamto |

understand—and cope with—one of our most hidden feelings

fter fourteen years of marriage, Julia is still bashful about letting her husband, John, see
her naked. She usually undresses at night in the bathroom and insists on turning the lights
off whenever they make love. “I know I seem prudish, but that’s not really the issue,” Julia
says. “It’s just that when I think of somebody else getting a close look
at my stretch marks and all my cellulite, I feel so ashamed.”

Sheryl, a successful real estate broker, exudes confidence and self-esteem.
Friends describe her as a woman who has her life together. But what they Mary ity
don’t know is that for years Sheryl has been a compulsive overeater. “When-
ever I pig out, I want to die from shame,” Sheryl says. “My friends think WT
Im in control, and I’m not. I realize there are lots of people with this
problem, but sometimes I feel I must be the only person on earth who’s so disgusting.”

As the wife of a network TV producer, Alice frequently attends social functions where she
meets people with Ivy League degrees who hail from rich families. Whenever Alice is asked
about her own background, she offers a vague answer and then quickly changes the subject. “I
love my parents, and I’ve done a lot in my life that I’m proud of,” she explains. (continued)

homes where shame was a constant.
And in some of these families, shame
becomes the dominant emotion. This
happens when a mother and father feel
shame either because of the way they
were treated by their parents, or be-
cause they have addictive behavior
patterns. Instead of dealing with the
problems that are causing their
shame, they deny that anything is
wrong, and their children become the
recipients of their negative emotions.
The children then grow up full of
shame and later belittle their kids, and
the cycle continues.

The cultural influence

Of course, families are not the only
source of shame; there are many life
experiences that leave a painful lega-
cy. Children often humiliate their
peers by calling them cruel names,
such as “fatso,” or by telling embar-
rassing stories about them. Teachers
and other authority figures (like
coaches who call poor athletes “wimps”
or “sissies”) can also cause children to
feel shame by criticizing them in front
of others.

Shame is influenced, too, by the gen-
eral cultural climate. What we feel
shame about, and the degree of shame
we feel, are very much influenced by

where in the world we happen to live
and at what time in history. African
tribeswomen accustomed to wearing
little clothing, for example, obviously
don’t have the sense of bodily shame
that Julia and so many other Western
women have. At the same time, a
woman like Julia probably has far less
shame than either her Victorian-era
ancestors or women living in strict
Muslim cultures. Under the Muslim
custom of purdah, it is consid-
ered a shameful disgrace if a woman
bares any part of herself—even her
face—in public.
In countries like Brazil, where an
ethic of machismo dominates, there’s a
great deal of emphasis on avoiding loss
of face. If a man is defeated by an
enemy or cheated on by his wife, not
only does he suffer the internal pain of
shame, but his family’s social standing
and good name are destroyed.
In our own society, Hersh says, “the
degrading images of women in pornog-
raphy, the prejudices against older
women, the emphasis on being thin— |
all reflect a cultural attitude toward
women that is absolutely cruel and |
leads to so much female shame. Be-
cause so many negative beliefs about |
women are built-in features of our cul- |
ture, they’re bound to affect how wom-
en see themselves.” (continued)

Breaking the habit

Although we’re all bound to feel
ashamed occasionally, no one has to go
through life consumed by this negative
emotion. There’s no magical solution
that will get rid of shame overnight,
but there are steps you can take to
help you discard the burden of shame:
@ Learn to deal with compulsive habits.
Whether you’re addicted to shopping,
eating or alcohol, there are lots of oth-
er people who have the same prob-
lem and are beating it with the help
of a support group. For instance, once
Sheryl met others who have eating dis-

orders, she was on the way to recovery.
“I still get in funks where I binge and
feel so disgusting that I know no one
will want anything to do with me,” she
says. “But then I force myself to call
someone from Overeaters Anonymous.
I can’t tell you a difference it’s
made to break tl silanes about my

secret. It’s sucl I
show other people w
finally stop pretending
and in control.”

@ Accept the “shameful” part of you.
“It’s the needy child we all have within
us who feels the pain of shame,” says

Hersh. “If the rational, compassionate
part of you can accept that child in-
stead of rejecting and hiding her, you'll
be well on your way to getting rid ofa
lot of shame.”

This was true of Alice, who was
afraid her husband’s Hollywood busi-
ness associates would look down on her
lower-class upbringing. “I finally real-
ized that some of the people I consid-
ered snobs really aren’t that way at
all,” she says. “Because I felt inferior, I
assumed that they saw me as inferior.”
eLearn new ways to handle problem
feelings. “Many people were shamed at
an early age for having certain feel-
ings, like anger,” says sociologist
Scheff. “They then feel shame whenev-
er they experience those emotions.”
You need to accept all of your emotions
as natural and learn to express your
negative feelings without putting oth-
er people down.

e Let go of outgrown values. Most of us
have mental lists describing all the
qualities we think we should have: “I
should be twenty pounds thinner” or “I
should really be a good cook by now.”
When we fail to live up to this list of
shoulds, we begin to doubt our worth
and we feel shame. The problem is
that we rarely question this list. So at
least once a year write down all your
shoulds. Then go down the list and

ask yourself if living up to e%

WHEN IT COMES ‘TO
MENOPAUSE YOUR BODY
Is 100 YEARS
BEHIND ‘THE TIMES.

Your feelings and fears that menopause signals the
onset of old age arent so farfetched. As recently as
a hundred years ago, a woman had little chance of
living more than a decade after menopause.

But today you can expect to live thirty years
more— well into your seventies or eighties.
They can and should be vital, alive, and healthy
years free from the distressing symptoms that
can come with menopause.

What happens at menopause and why.

Somewhere between 45 and 55 your body
begins to produce less and less estrogen. The lack
of this vital female hormone is what causes “hot
flashes,” the sudden and unpredictable sensation
of heat and sweating. Hot flashes are the most
common symptom and can be a very “public” and
embarrassing one. They can also lead to insomnia

and irritability. Another common symptom is

vaginal dryness. These symptoms are not “in your
mind.” They are real, they are physiologically
based and your doctor has treatments for them.

You don't look middle-aged.
And you don't have to feel middle-aged.
‘Today, more women are staying vital and

Do your eyes a favor this spring: Wear sunglasses and a hat when you’re outdoors.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have found that daily sun exposure can increase your
risk of developing cataracts—an eye disease that causes seventeen million cases of
blindness each year worldwide. Sunglasses provide fairly good protection—especially
when worn with a hat. Better yet, order ultraviolet-B-blocking glasses from an optome-

What blood pressure was to the seventies,
cholesterol is to the late eighties: the medical
buzzword that everyone’s hearing. But despite all the
talk, an important message hasn’t really hit home:
You can significantly reduce your risk of heart
disease—America’s number-one killer—by lowering
your blood cholesterol level.

Sixty-eight percent of the four hundred thousand
people who took advantage of a nationwide screening
last year had blood cholesterol counts over 200. (See
page 102 for what that number means, and page 86
to learn how to take part in this year’s screening.)

In hopes of increasing our readers’ understanding
of this complex and vital subject—and bettering
scores this year—LHJ presents the following primer
on cholesterol and its control.

THE ABC'S OF CHOLESTEROL

What exactly is cholesterol, and what does it do inside our
bodies? This white, waxy substance is produced in the liver
and is present in cell membranes. Cholesterol is used in the
production of sex hormones, bile acids and vitamin D.

But our bodies don’t need any dietary sources to produce the
small amount we need, and excess amounts in the blood can

contribute to atherosclerosis—hardening of the (continued)

You may not think you have a

CONTROL erited tendency toward high
j blood cholesterol levels, but most
people must put a far larger share

of the blame on their diets.

There are two dietary villains. The first is saturated fat, a
type of fat found not only in animal products like butter and
fatty meats, but in some plant foods such as palm kernel and
coconut oils. Vegetable oils labeled “hydrogenated,” used in
many processed foods, are also saturated. Saturated fats—
which are solid at room temperature—stimulate the liver to
make more cholesterol, and interfere with the way cholesterol is
removed from the bloodstream. The second villain is dietary
cholesterol itself, found only in foods of animal origin, such as
meat, eggs and dairy products; the cholesterol that cows, chick-
ens and other creatures manufacture is added to our own.

Although the American Heart Association currently recom-
mends that we eat less than 300 mg of cholesterol daily, most
of us consume between 300 and 435 mg.

Many foods—such as fatty meats, whole milk and cheese—
are high in both cholesterol and saturated fat.

the bloodstream in combi-
nation with protein mole-
cules; these cholesterol/
protein packages are
called lipoproteins. There
are two main kinds: low-
density lipoproteins (LDLs }—
sometimes called bad cho-
lesterol—and_ high-density
lipoproteins (HDLs), also
known as good cholesterol.

Elevated levels of LDL
cholesterol are potentially
harmful because they de-
posit cholesterol in artery
walls. These deposits hard-
en into plaques—made of
cholesterol, fats and other
debris—which gradually
narrow blood vessels.
Eventually, a vessel can be-

come completely blocked. The process often takes place without
warning; in fact, the first symptom can be a heart attack.
HDLs help minimize the negative effects of LDLs, because they
scavenge the body and remove cholesterol from the blood, return-
ing it to the liver for elimination from the body. Researchers suspect
that in some cases HDLs can even extract cholesterol from already-
existing arterial plaques, thereby reversing atherosclerosis.
Experts believe substituting polyunsaturated fats and monoun-
saturated fats—both of which are liquid at room temperature—
can help lower LDL cholesterol. Polyunsaturates include corn,

soybean, safflower, sunflower and cotionseed oils. Olive, canola

and peanut oils are among the monounsaturates.

You can tell
high blood pressure
_ by these symptoms:

(Very often, there are none!)

Its hard to believe that over 35 million Americans have a dangerous disease... very
often without a symptom. But that’s what high blood pressure (hypertension) is like.
A hidden illness, yet one of the easiest to detect—and to treat. Untreated, it can affect
your brain (stroke), your vision, heart (infarction), blood vessels and kidneys. Anyone
can be affected, although factors such as age, sex, race or family background play a role.

Fortunately, there’s plenty that can be done to treat this condition. Only your
doctor can diagnose hypertension, but you can help head it off through healthier liv-
ing—reducing weight, cholesterol, salt intake, stress, anxiety and stopping smoking. An
improved lifestyle, and blood pressure-controlling medicines can substantially lower
your nisk for heart attacks and stroke. But the first step is to see your doctor

saturated fat—such as nondairy whipped toppings and
powdered coffee creamers—can be completely choles-

‘dietary cholesterol itself does.

My doctor says my cholesterol is

salt and sugar from my diet. That
doesn’t leave me much to eat.

Youre not alone in your frustration. Many people—
‘including some physicians—still don’t fully understand
‘what constitutes a cholesterol-lowering diet. “Sodium
has no effect on blood cholesterol,” says Nancy Ernst. If
your blood pressure is normal, you don’t need ito cut
down dramatically on salt.

Sugar has also been unfairly accused. Although high-
sugar, high-carbohydrate diets can raise the level of
certain blood fats called triglycerides in some people—
and some doctors believe triglyceride levels have some
relationship to coronary heart disease risk—most experts
now think high triglyceride levels are not an indepen-
dent risk factor for heart disease.

‘My family enjoys eating fish and
chicken, but we really miss red
meat. Must we eliminate it if we
want to lower our cholesterol?

No. Watching your cholesterol doesn’t have to mean
igiving up meat. Some cuts of beef—such as round steak
tand ground round—are relatively low in fat. In fact,
\Ernst points out, broiled lean top round, dark-meat
ichicken with the skin removed, and salmon cooked with
dry heat all have about the same amount of saturated
fat. “The body doesn’t distinguish between saturated fat
‘from beef versus that from poultry or baked goods,” she
says. “As long as you limit portion size and prepare
foods without adding a lot of fat, you and your family
can continue to eat red meat.”

(continued) repair-shop own-
er from East Brunswick, New
Jersey, forgo all the foods he
loves? Two years ago, he dis-
covered his cholesterol level
was 295, and he knew he
had to lower it fast.

Lenny and his wife decided
to turn his medical problem
into a research project. Soon
they were learning how to
plan tasty, low-saturated-fat,
low-cholesterol meals. Today, Fishman brown-bags his sana-
wiches. “Turkey or tuna, tuna or turkey—for a while it nearly
drove me crazy,” he says, laughing.

The sacrifices have paid off. Over the past two years, Lenny has
brought his cholesterol down to 215 and succeeded in keeping
himself off cholesterol-lowering medication. As an added bonus,
he dropped sixteen pounds “without even trying.”

Slowly but surely, his taste buds have changed. Several
years ago, Lenny tried low-fat hot dogs made of veal and
thought they tasted terrible. He sampled them again recently
and reports, “Now | think they‘re delicious!”

Getting your cholesterol under control is well worth the
effort. In fact, doctors estimate that for every | percent decrease
in a person's excess blood cholesterol level, there is a 2 percent
decrease in coronary heart disease risk.

Below, the four main battlefronts in this war against clogged
arteries:

DIET

Consume less saturated fat

You must learn to make some key substitutions when you shop
and cook. For instance, select fish, skinless chicken or lean meat
instead of fatty cuts; switch from whole to skim or 1 percent
low-fat milk; use margarine instead of butter; and check labels
so you can select foods with the least amounts of saturated fat.
The American Heart Association recommends that less than 30
percent of a person's total daily calories come from fat; less
than 10 percent of daily calories should come from saturated
fat. The average American adult diet provides about 40 percent
of calories from fat.

Eating for heart health is getting easier as the food industry
becomes more responsive to consumers’ demands for lower-fat,
lower-cholesterol foods. One of the most vocal lobbyists has
been Omaha industrialist-turned-consumer-advocate Phil Soko-
lof, who had a heart attack in 1966 at age forty-three. Since
then, he has become something of a good-health zealot and
has relentlessly prodded food manufacturers to replace
saturated fats with unsaturated fats in crackers, cookies, cereals
and other baked goods. (continued)

CHOLESTEROL
CONTRO Eat fewer high-
cholesterol foods
These include eggs and organ
meats like liver, kidneys and heart. Sausages, cold cuts, may-
onnaise, whole-milk cheese, butter, cream and lard—which

are among the foods that are high in both cholesterol and
saturated fat—should also be eaten sparingly.

Increase consumption of
fiber-rich foods

Fiber, an undigestible form of carbohydrate, comes in two
forms—soluble (it dissolves in water) and insoluble. Insoluble
fiber is found in such foods as wheat bran and fruit seeds and
skins. Soluble fiber—found in oat, barley and rice bran, ap-
ples, citrus fruits, dried beans, peas, lentils, carrots and okra—
is especially helpful in reducing blood cholesterol. Experts say
this type of fiber binds with cholesterol and bile acids in the
digestive tract, enabling the body to eliminate cholesterol be-
fore it attaches to artery walls.

EXERCISE

When it comes to controlling blood cholesterol, exercise is also
important. Although working out cannot reduce a person’s total
cholesterol level, it can have a beneficial effect on the kind of

j

rol in the body. Specifically, regular aerobic exercise
can raise the level of protective HDL cholesterol and lower the

level of artery-damaging LDL cholesterol. Of course, exercise is
also an effective weight-control aid.
Most experts suggest participating in at least thirty minutes

of aerobic exercise—activity that makes the heart and lungs
work harder to meet the muscles’ demand for oxygen—at least
three times a week. (To find your minimum target heart rate—
the rate at which you will start to burn fat—subtract your

age from 220 and multiply that number by .6. If you are
thirty-five, your target heart rate will be 111 (220 - 35 = 185;
185 X .6 = 111). Aerobic exercises include brisk walking,

A spoonful of Metamucil

ORANGE FLAVOR

(aru

Surprised? If you’ve been trying to get

* more soluble fiber by eating
yatmeal, you probably didn’t know that you can also
set it by taking Metamucil. That’s nght. Metamucil is
jatural soluble fiber—the same kind of fiber that
makes oat bran so beneficial.

_ Asamatter of fact, many doctors recommend

‘aking Metamucil on a regular basis as a fiber source.

it provides the extra fiber many people need to stay
egular safely and naturally. (Unlike harsh chemical
axatives that use stimulants to shock your system
nto action.)

_ While you can and should include high-fiber
oods in your diet, soluble fiber can be hard to get. In

most foods, it occurs only in small quantities. Even
oat bran is only 15 percent soluble fiber.

Metamucil is much more concentrated. Ounce
for ounce, Metamucil contains five times the soluble
fiber of oat bran. So you’d have to eat on average
nearly three oat bran muffins or two bowls of oatmeal
to get all the soluble fiber in one spoonful of
Metamucil.

And a spoonful of Metamucil mixed in a glass of
water has only 30 calories per serving (only 5 if you
prefer sugar-free Metamucil with NutraSweet).

Medical researchers are finding out more good
news about soluble fiber every day. So why not con-
sider adding Metamucil to your daily regimen?

Natural Soluble Fiber Metamucil.
It can make a daily difference in your health.

CHOLESTEROL
MEDICATION =— CONTROL

and exercise alone will not lower a person’s cholesterol to
acceptable levels. In such instances, drugs may be needed.
Several cholesterol-lowering medications are now available:

Bile acid sequestrants

Also called resins, these drugs, which include cholestyramine
(brand name Questran) and colestipol (brand name Colestid),
bind with cholesterol-containing bile acids in the intestine,
hastening their excretion. Powdered bile acid sequestrants,
which must be mixed with fluid before patients take them, are
both safe and effective. However, they may produce side ef-
fects such as constipation and abdominal discomfort. In an
attempt to make resins more palatable, Warner-Lambert Co.
recently introduced a bile-binding candy bar.

Nicotinic acid (niacin)

This B vitamin is available over the counter as a dietary
supplement. Unlike most cholesterol-lowering drugs, niacin
lowers LDL and raises HDL, although researchers are not sure
just how it does this. However, if niacin is taken in quantities
large enough to affect cholesterol, it can also produce serious
side effects, including ulcers and liver problems. Therefore,
niacin should be used only under a physician's guidance.

HMG CoA reductase inhibitors

This new class of drugs—which includes lovastatin (brand
name Mevacor)—works by inhibiting a specific enzyme in the
liver that helps to manufacture cholesterol. Lovastatin has been
shown to be effective in patients with an inherited tendency
toward extremely elevated cholesterol.

While lovastatin can be a real help, there are drawbacks.
Since it can occasionally cause liver and eye damage, patients
must be carefully monitored. Also, it costs around $1,000 a
year and must usually be taken for life. Furthermore, lovasta-
tin has been available only since late 1987, so doctors caution
that its long-term safety has not yet been established.

Gemfibrozil

This drug has been approved by the Food and Drug Adminis-
tration (FDA) for use on properly selected patients, including
those who do not tolerate the bile acid sequestrants or nicotinic
acid. A recent study showed that gemfibrozil raised HDL choles-
terol levels and lowered LDL levels, thereby reducing coronary
heart disease risk in the patients who took it.

Many frozen food products carry nutritional labels. However, there is NO

CHOLESTEROL
CONTROL

CASE HISTORY *1

“Changing my diet wasn't enough”

In 1983, Marge Cushmore—a regular tennis

player who weighs a trim 135 pounds—was

shocked to discover her blood cholesterol level

was a dangerously high 354. Since she felt and

looked fine, it was hard for the
fifty-seven-year-old New Jersey
resident to take her problem
very seriously—or restrict her
favorite food: eggs.

Then, in August 1987,
Cushmore got a real scare: One
day while doing housework, her
heart started pounding wildly,
and she felt so nauseated and
faint, she was sure she was
having a heart attack. She

summoned a neighbor, who quickly called an

ambulance.

Although doctors at a local hospital could find

no overt heart problems, Cushmore decided it

was finally time to get her cholesterol level

under control.

Despite her efforts to eat less fat, however,

Cushmore’s cholesterol level failed to budge.

Then her doctor prescribed lovastatin. Within

four months, the drug lowered her cholesterol

100 points. Cushmore is relieved. “And,” she

adds, “I can still eat an occasional egg.”

CHOLESTEROL

KIDS AND
CHOLESTEROL

Two years ago, nine-year-old
Will Plumhoff learned that his
cholesterol level was 240—too
high for a fourth grader.
Will is far from alone; about
one quarter of the nation’s chil-
cosas : dren between ages two and
Will Plumhoff’s parents, = twenty have elevated cholester-
Beth and Lyle, are ol—a level greater than 170 for
pleased that their son boys or 175 for girls. Because of
has lowered his this, the American Heart Associa-
cholesterol level. Says
Lyle: “It’s training for a tion and the American Academy
lifestyle. He’s worked of Pediatrics recommend that
hard at it.” children over age two have a
cholesterol test if they have a
family history of high cholesterol—as Will does—or early heart
disease. (By the way, regardless of family risk, kids aged two
and younger need diets that are rich in fat and cholesterol to
support the tremendous growth spurts of early childhood.)
Shortly after his cholesterol test, Will began attending a
special cardiovascular education program for children at the
Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota. There, he learned to
make smart food choices by using a stop-and-go system—a
wheel that classifies foods as red-, yellow- or green-light items.
Now, when Will sees a red-light food, he eats only a small
amount or chooses a different food. In the past year, Will has
succeeded in lowering his cholesterol to a much healthier 185.
That's not to say it’s easy for most kids to adapt to a new diet.
Ironically, one of the biggest obstacles to a low-saturated-fat
diet for kids is the public school lunch program. That's because
many school systems must rely on relatively inexpensive sur-
plus foods—including high-fat dairy products and fatty meat—
provided by government subsidies, explains William H. Weid-
man, M.D., professor of pediatrics at the Mayo Clinic.
Will’s success proves, however, that despite the difficulties
it’s never too early to start cholesterol control.

CHOLESTEROL
CONTROL

(continued) Judy
decided to have twelve-
year-old Andrew
screened.

Judy and Andrew cut
back on fat and became
avid label readers.
Within six months,
Andrew’s cholesterol
level dropped from 175
to 143; Judy’s went from 243 to 180.

Andrew has also become expert at judging
the cholesterol content of foods. “Recently,
we ate out and Andrew’s sister, Anjanette,
ordered french fries and a malt,” says Judy.
“Andrew said, ‘Angie, your cholesterol must
be sky high!’ ”

What does your blood
cholesterol reading really mean?

Total blood cholesterol is measured in milligrams of cholesterol
per deciliter (mg/dl) of blood (a deciliter is about a tenth of a
quart). A doctor will do a lipoprotein analysis of your blood if
your total blood cholesterol level is 240 or higher, or 200 to
239 and you have other risk factors (see below). The higher
your HDL level, the lower your risk of heart disease. The
desirable level for LDL is 130 or lower.

WHAT IT MEANS;

READING WHAT TO DO
Less than 200 Desirable: Repeat test in five
years

200 to 239 Borderline high: If you have coro-
nary heart disease or two or more
other cardiac risk factors (i.e.,
family history, high blood pres-
sure, diabetes, smoking, obesity),
see doctor within two months for
a repeat test. If not, change diet;

see doctor within a year for retest

240 and above High: See doctor immediately

INTRODUCTION

Today’s emphasis on healthy eating and the natural
desire to eat delicious, satisfying foods combine to create
difficult decisions for consumers. Using this book, you can
prepare meals for your family that meet both these needs. The
American Heart Association dietary guidelines were used in
development of these recipes. The recipes in this book were
developed and tested by the Creamette Test Kitchens to
provide you with a selection of recipes that “give permission
to indulge” without unnecessary calories, fat, cholesterol or
sodium. Because these recipes are developed to be low in
sodium and fat, you may miss the extra salt and high-fat
cream and butter at first. As you become accustomed to the
flavor of the foods, you will probably find you and your family
use less Salt and fat in all your cooking.

Throughout this book, you will find information with color-
coded boxes. Green indicates tips you will find especially helpful
in preparing pasta. Yellow indicates nutritional facts that will
help you and your family select foods that round out a
nutritionally sound diet. General information is designated with
blue. Included with each recipe is the calorie, carbohydrate,
protein, fat, cholesterol and sodium content for each serving.
If you would like more detailed nutrition information on these
recipes, please write to us: Creamette Company, 428 N.

First St., Minneapolis, MN 55401.

Since 1916, the Creamette Company has been dedicated
to providing premium pasta products made only from 100%
durum semolina (the finest ingredient available). This tradition
of quality continues today. We thank the generations of loyal
Creamette consumers for their continued confidence.

COOKING TIPS FOR CREAMETTE? PASTA:

— Use a large pot and plenty of water to allow pasta to “swim”

— Keep water at a boil at all times.

— Salt may be added, but is not necessary. If you are trying to
reduce your sodium intake, omit salt during cooking.

— Stir “long goods” (spaghetti, linguine, fettuccini, etc.) often with a
long-handled fork. This prevents pasta from sticking together
during cooking.

— Stir “short goods” (elbow macaroni, rotini, rigatoni, etc.) with a
wide spoon, to prevent sticking.

— Time is critical when cooking pasta. Be sure to check the recom-
mended cooking times on the back of the package.

— When using cooked pasta in salads or casseroles, rinse with cold
water and drain well before continuing with the recipe.

— We do not recommend a microwave oven for initial cooking of
pasta products. Time savings are negligible over the conventional
method of boiling. However, a microwave oven Is very useful
for reheating Creamette® pasta dishes and for preparing
sauces. Refer to the oven manufacturer's directions. J

JTRITIONAL FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW.

What are complex carbohydrates?
| Complex carbohydrates are primarily starch and fiber.

| What's the difference between simple and complex carbohydrates?

| Simple carbohydrates (found in high-sugar foods) are released

| quickly into the bloodstream and provide only short-term energy

| followed by a rapid drop. Complex carbohydrates, by contrast

} must first be broken down into simple carbohydrates and are

| released slowly into the bloodstream, providing long-lasting
energy (and also prevent hunger longer).

‘What about using olive oil?

' Research indicates olive oil, because of its high concentration of
monosaturated fats, may be beneficial in actually lowering blood
cholesterol levels that are linked to some types of heart disease.
For many years, it was assumed that replacing saturated fats
(which increase blood cholesterol levels and promote arterial
blockage) with those having more polyunsaturated fats (which

‘help reduce blood cholesterol levels) was the only way to help

| lower cholesterol and minimize arterial blockage. Monosaturated
fats (found in olive oil) were thought to be neutral, neither

increasing nor decreasing cholesterol. Research now indicates

that monosaturated fats are also beneficial in that they decrease

‘the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. Low-

density lipoprotein cholesterol is the type associated with heart

‘disease. Monosaturated fats also appear to help increase the

‘high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol that helps guard against

/arterial blockage.

_ls pasta approved for consumption by diabetics?

' Pasta is listed as an exchange for diabetics and when properly
used, fits well into a diabetic meal plan. Early studies indicate pasta
releases carbohydrates s/owly into the bloodstream which pre-
vents a rapid increase in blood glucose. Preliminary studies have

_also indicated that some other foods high in complex carbohy-
drates can raise glucose and insulin levels very quickly. Pasta was
found to produce a flat reading on glucose levels and insulin release.
For further information in using pasta in your meal planning,
please contact your diabetes educator or your local chapter of the
American Diabetes Association.

ICHAEL JACKSON. "<2
rs Says good-bye

he concert was definitely a Thriller. Michael Jackson

basked in the applause of sixteen thousand scream-

ing fans at the Los Angeles Sports Arena last January, having just

finished the final song of the final show of‘his allegedly final tour. As
he leaned over to accept flowers from the audience, he wiped a few tears
from his cheeks and waved one last good-bye. Then Jackson—one of the most
charismatic, controversial stars of our era—walked offstage, perhaps for the
last time. After playing to more people (4.4 million) and grossing more
money ($125 million) in one world tour than any
other performer in history, His Badness an-
nounced he would never tour again. The move
caught many by surprise, since Jackson—a mys-
tery man who seldom ventures out without a
disguise—has never seemed at home in public
anywhere except onstage. Then-he further con-
founded critics by firing Frank Dileo, who had
been his manager since 1984 and _ _ (continued)

MICHAEL JACKSON

-ontinued

man credited with launching Jack-
to superstardom.
ike everything the offbeat enter-
er does, his unexpected announce-
its raised questions. Why was he
uing his back on live performing
dropping the man he had regarded
me of his closest allies? Was he
ig to sink further into his strange
ate world? And what will come
t fer the most ridiculed, talented
wman of the eighties?
1 twenty years of superstardom,
hael Jackson has redefined his im-
as often as he has reportedly
nged the shape of his face. Once the
yubescent boy wonder of the Jack-
Five, today Michael is an androgy-
s, enigmatic man-child. Having re-
ly turned thirty, he may well have
on a look at the man in the mirror

warm reviews and bad press about
Jackson’s eccentric lifestyle. Even af-
ter they picked up dramatically later
on, things didn’t always go smoothly.
In Liverpool, England, outside a con-
cert attended by 125,000 fans—the
largest ever in Europe—several hun-
dred people were injured trying to
push into the stadium.

To make matters worse, he was
dogged by questions about his bizarre
personal life—rumors that he slept in
an oxygen tank to stay young; that he
allegedly had had his skin bleached,
his lips thinned, his cheeks and his
eyes redone; and that his closest friend
and constant traveling companion is a
chimpanzee named Bubbles. Michael
Jackson wasn’t Bad, declared maga-
zines from the United States to Aus-
tralia, he was just plain weird.

The release last year of his autobiog-
raphy, Moonwalk, edited by Jackie
Onassis, gave Jackson the perfect op-

an Jackson make it in movies? “He'll never
a Shakespearean actor,” says one critic,
ut hell sell more tickets than Rambo.”

paraphrase one of his hits) and de-
d it’s time to make another change
is life.
S speculation swirled, Dileo mini-
ed the importance of Michael’s de-
m to quit the concert trail. The
ved One was simply exhausted, his
lager said, and wants to concen-
e on other projects. After the gruel-
sixteen-month Bad world tour—
1 concerts in 123 cities spread over
- continents—the already frail per-
ner had lost ten pounds, and his
ves were frazzled. Toward the end
1e tour, Jackson had been forced to
cel a number of concerts because of
ined vocal cords.
Ne’re not saying he’s never going
erform live again,” Dileo said at
time of the announcement, “but
accomplished everything he want-
o with touring. What are we going
lo next time? Play for two years?
t would kill me.”
ith his touring over, Jackson was
ected to take several months to rest
recuperate at his Encino estate
the $28 million, twenty-seven-
dred-acre ranch he recently bought
Jalifornia’s Santa Ynez Valley. Af-
all, it hasn’t been an easy year.
10ugh he was the highest-grossing
srtainer in show business in 1988—
made an estimated $60 million—
rrever he went, paparazzi and prob-
s followed. Early in the tour, ticket
Ss slumped in Australia amid luke-

portunity to put some of the rumors to
rest. Instead, the singer tiptoed around
the specifics of his controversial per-
sonal life, never even addressing the
perennial mystery of whether he is
straight, gay or asexual. The only
thing Jackson did admit, in an unusu-
al bit of candor, was: “I believe I’m one
of the loneliest people in the world.”

And perhaps one of the most misun-
derstood. For all that is written about
him, it’s rarely mentioned that he
gives millions to charities, including
the United Negro College Fund and
Child Help USA (an organization for
abused children). Or that he almost
single-handedly pioneered the field of
music videos in the early 1980s. Or
that Bad produced more number-one
singles—five—than any other album,
and sold more copies (20 million) than
any other except Jackson’s 1982 mega-
hit, Thriller. Michael Jackson may be
dismissed by some critics and those who
are hopelessly hip (Rolling Stone read-
ers voted Bad the worst album of
1987), but his infectious dance music,
his glitzy concert staging and—most of
all—his skills in front of an audience
have won him a devoted following
throughout the world.

“He’s one of the best live performers
ever, and that alone has secured him a
place as the biggest attraction in mu-
sic history,” says Jonathan Himoff, an
editor of the music magazine Spin.
“It’s a shame he’s giving (continued)

now standard on Safari.

In any mini-van, the one thing
between you and the unexpected
is your brakes. You want the best
system available.

That’s why Safari comes
equipped with electronic rear-
wheel anti-lock brakes designed to
help prevent rear-wheel “lock-up”
and help control skidding on sud-
den stops under a variety of road
surface conditions.

Your stops are sure and stable.

So when you’re shopping for a
mini-van, you need to ask about
anti-lock brakes. Many don't even
offer them at all, but Safari gives
you this important feature at no
extra cost.

@ MICHAEL JACKSON

continued

up touring, but clearly he’s a troubled
person, and this move may be directed
more at his personal goals than any of
his career goals.”

A case in point may be an incident
that happened while Jackson was per-
forming in Tokyo. Tired of being
poked fun at by the press, Michael
sat down in his hotel room and jotted
off an angry two-page letter to People
magazine. “Most people don’t know
me, that is why they write such things,

most of which are not true. .. I cry
very often, because it hurts. . . Have
mercy, for I’ve been bleeding a long

time now.”
